Undetected
Henderson continues the story line from Unspoken (2013), as readers meet Gina Gray, a prodigy who started college at age 14 and discovered a top-secret way for submarines to view the depths of the ocean undetected, but has always aspired to the roles of wife and mother. That dream looks doomed when her boyfriend dumps her. She heads to the West Coast, where her brother, Jeff, a naval submariner, is based. There she puts her prodigious science skills to work trying to make the submarine fleet safer. Mark Bishop, a widowed commander of a nuclear submarine, has decided to remarry, but has to find a woman who will be as strong, smart, and compatible as his late wife. Jeff tries to play matchmaker, but Gina and Mark believe that their age difference is too great. Although Henderson goes a bit overboard in her intricately detailed descriptions of submarines, this leisurely paced tale of friendship evolving into love will strongly appeal to fans of evangelical Christian fiction. --Diana Tixier Herald
