Title of Book: Ever Present DANGER By Kathy Herman
BACK COVER: At eighteen, popular Ivy Griffith likes nothing better than getting stoned with her boyfriend, Pete, and his basketball buddies—until one afternoon when a nightmare unfolds. Ivy watches in horror as her boyfriend and his friends murder a teammate and bury his body in a remote location. The four friends make a pact to keep the killing quiet, and Ivy flees her parents’ Colorado home for college and never looks back. Now, after ten years of numbing her guilt with drugs, she’s finally clean. The single mom of seven-year-old son, Montana, Ivy returns home to the tiny town of Jacob’s Ear, hoping for courage to reveal the shocking truth of her past and be rid of this baggage forever. But when disaster strikes at Ivy’s high school reunion, she’s the only one left alive who witnessed that fateful night so long ago…Or is she? Who else could’ve known about the pact and who would want Pete and his co-conspirators dead? As the investigation heats up and the death toll rises, Ivy is forced to decide if confessing the truth is really worth risking her own life.

As I turned to the Prologue on page 9, I had no idea what to expect, but Kathy Herman pulled me right in to Ivy Griffith’s story as the young woman stood beside her pink and silver snowmobile and gazed at the giant Cottonwood tree that marked the secret grave. Ivy has returned to Jacob’s Ear, Colorado, her hometown, to reveal the truth of that secret grave. As the days pass, she wonders if she’s made the right decision. You’ll have 327 pages of reading to go as you struggle along with Ivy Griffin. Sometimes you’ll want her to forget the whole thing, grab her kid and run. At other times you’ll want her to share her story with someone who will believe her and trust her. Through it all, you’ll want her to commit her life to the Lord so He can guide her. Herman has added a Discussion Guide at the end of the book with 13 questions to help people evaluate the story. In question #2, readers are asked if they agree with Jane Compton’s comment, “It’s easier to get sucked into the darkness than to walk in the light.” After you read Kathy Herman’s Ever Present DANGER, ponder this statement to see if you agree or disagree. I recommend this book. It is an action-filled page-turner. |
