Kathryn — Michelle L. Levigne

Kathryn is dying. No one knows how long she will last. The time has come to sit down and assess her options. Giving up her life on the road, working for the Arc Foundation, is a hard choice. Dying in service is never as romantic as it sounds.

Her quiet time of contemplation is interrupted by a call for help. Somewhere near her, an injured woman is lost, fleeing danger. Local authorities could be compromised and therefore can't be trusted. Kathryn responds to the call to action without hesitating. Maybe she's even glad to delay the inevitable choices.

When she finds her target, the injured woman only knows her name is Regina, but not why people were shooting at her. The journey to reach a friend in the FBI is complicated when Kathryn's illness requires frequent stops, permitting Regina's pursuers to nip at their heels.

When the mountains interfere with cell reception, and she can't stop long enough to make a call for help and advice, Kathryn has only her companion dog, her own wits, and prayer to depend on. Deception waits around every corner and Regina's attitude tests Kathryn's sympathy and her faith.
