Description

Imprisoned by memories, Claudia Campbell lives each day in the shadow of a ten-year-old murder. Who can set her free?

On the way home from a football game, a decade earlier, a masked gunman opened fire on a Texas school bus.  Cheerleading coach B.J. Remington was killed, but her murderer was never found. Claudia, who had a close friendship with the young, spirited teacher, constantly relives the anguish of that day, caught in one moment in time. When her husband, the assistant district attorney, becomes determined to uncover the mystery of that tragedy, the secrets buried over the years threaten to tear their family apart.

Officer Casio Hightower will never forget the day his dreams were destroyed. A star quarterback with a promising future, Casio was on top of the world—until one bullet changed everything. He is eager to help Victor Campbell find B.J.’s killer, the man who shot him. Maybe solving the case will help silence the demons driving Casio to hurt the woman he loves.

As the Campbells and Casio teeter on the brink of losing everything, will they be able to discover that what begins at the crossing ends at the cross?

    The book was written in an easy caring manner, yet it carried a heavy, important subject. Anyone who likes mysteries can enjoy the questions in it while it felt more real than sensationalized stories. This could have been written about in your local newspaper. I loved the spiritual monologues threaded within the story most...found myself highlighting many lines in the book. I wanted to get to the answers yet almost didn't want the book to end.

    This book was amazing! Not only was it mysterious but it was great to have a Christian story that in some way we can identify with or remind us of someone in our lives. Tiyana

    I truly enjoyed ready "The Crossing" once I started reading I couldn't put the book down. This is truly a non stop action packed change if events from start to finish. You must read it for yourself to see what I'm talking about. I recommend that you read this book with an open mind and understanding so that you can get a feel of what the writer was trying to accomplish in her book. We all have a crossing and a past however, it's about the roads we choose to take to reach our own deliverance. Do not sleep on this one y'all it's a must read! Be blessed!
