Jack Bentley’s life fractured into jagged shards of pain and loneliness four months ago when his wife’s car plunged into the Snake River. Still reeling from the loss of his wife and infant son, Jack finds his world shaken again when he sees the ghost of his wife, Gina. But the truth she tells him changes everything: their son didn't drown with her.
 

Now, Jack must find his son before he slips away forever. Haunted by loss and his wife's plea, Jack finds himself diving into a mystery deeper than the river's swift current. No power on Earth can reunite him with his little boy—and even help from beyond the grave may not be enough to bring Jack's son back.  

My Review: 5 Stars

Can you imagine finding out months later that your young son really didn't die in the car accident that claimed your wife? That's what happened to Jack and the way he found out was unbelievable to some.

I was completely caught up in this story and did not want to put it down. Between the mystery that is growing daily and the suspense that had me on edge, I flew through the book, even setting aside another one that I was reading.

Jack isn't a complicated character. In fact, he's pretty average, but he won't stop at anything to find his son and exhibits a lot of perseverance, creativity, and love. These characteristics really rooted him into my heart and had me cheering him on. I also enjoyed the romance that blossomed in the midst of this crisis.

This book had a feeling about it that something like this could really happen and the writing powerfully displayed this possible reality.

Content: mild romance; mild violence and moments of peril
