Ok, I will review a little, but I will not be able to fully review until the end of the third book. This book is a 3 part book and yes, all of them are available, so go out and read them.This book starts off with a bang. I don't want to ruin the story by describing the first chapter, but lets just say it grabs you at the beginning and does not let go.There is two stories that are intertwined by "faith" so we think. One story is about Jon, ex-marshall, who is forced into retirement due to a case "gone wrong". He is suffering PTSD, or though we think, along with hallucinations and voices. He one day gets in his car and drives until he stops in a small town and settles there because he has lost his drive and purpose in life until he meets Rudy. This meeting changes everything for Jon. His purpose and life have been completely flipped due to this chance meeting with Rudy, or is it chance. Rudy is a 45 yr old (five yr old, with deja vu like abilites) that suffered brain damage as a child from a high grade fever/infection and is now cared for by his 31 yr old brother Ellis. Ellis has been caring for Rudy since his parents were killed in an accident when he was 12. Their relationship is a contemporary version of Mice and Men. He is constantly protecting Rudy from being taken away, the town and himself. Jon steps in and brings strength and safety that Ellis has never felt. Ellis is being harassed by 2 cops and a bully in town because he is gay, so we think, and Jon helps him to deal with these bullies until it goes to far and he threatens Lenny, the bullies.Now Jon, Ellis and Rudy are in danger and the book starts to blend the reasons for the chance meeting of Jon, Rudy and Ellis. Jon has some epiphanies about his past and what his past is trying to tell him. Hopefully he will figure it out before it is too late and someone dies....This book has drama (tears), mystery, humanity, humility and hopefully a HEA by the end of book three. You are left with some closure at the end of book 1, but I immediately started book 2 at midnight. Now off to the next one.
