description: SINISTER PURSUITS – RIVETING ESCAPES – MYSTERIOUS ENCOUNTERS Imagine playing a game that had the power – not hypothetically or symbolically, but definitively – to place you in the very presence of God. As a child, Celia Kline and her father played a game in which they imagined themselves walking the grounds of heaven. Although the intent was to prepare her for her Christian walk, her dad never expected his death would instead cause her to reject her faith. Orphaned as a child, unbefitting as an adult, gifted with delicate and startling powers of vision, Celia finds herself outside of Illinois for the first time in her life. While ruthless mobsters, federal agents, and the man accused of murdering her family are in hot pursuit, she flees to the small, sleepy town of Bradenville, Oklahoma. Terrified, and desolate, she is drawn to a wise blind woman and her grandson, Layne Elliott. While gaining much needed insight into her Seer gifting, the childhood game she played with her father erupts in her world. Though strangely secretive, Layne discovers this beautiful woman hiding in the back of his semi-trailer. Suddenly, her arrival attracts murder and mayhem to Bradenville. Layne, falling hard and certain Celia is the answer to prayer, is compelled to protect her from peril. Can he penetrate the protective shell she is hiding behind? Can they both survive the onslaught of chaos and murder?
