ONE MISSING GIRL. NO SUSPECTS.

Every day since her sister vanished, Rachel has
visited the radical church where Leah was last

Rachel’s positive clues lie in that church somewhere.

Thirteen days on from Leah’s disappearance, the pastor
introduces Rachel to Tim, a devout worshiper of his Lord.
To avoid dealing with his own demons, he agrees to spend
the day helping Rachel search for her sister.

It’s Saturday, March 14. Maybe today will be the day.
Maybe today Rachel will be reunited with Leah.
Or maybe today will change Rachel’s life forever.

About the Author

Maura Jortner grew up in New Hampshire and now lives in Waco, Texas with her patient husband, two amazing daughters, and one unruly cat. She teaches literature and writing classes at Baylor University. A lifetime ago, she used to direct plays and put on puppet shows for kids, which led to a Ph.D. in Theatre History. Currently, when Maura’s not writing, she’s spending her time like every native-born Texan: worrying about how many chiggers might be hidden in the grass outside her house or if she put enough sunscreen on her kids.
