From a very early age, Emily's father has mentored her in
criminology, and she has a promising career as a detective in the
city of Manchester, New Hampshire. Now a two year veteran of the
police force, she is gifted in her investigative skills, but
empathy for innocent victims causes her insomnia, guilt, and
symptoms of disassociation. She has turned away from God for His
allowance of horrible things to happen to children and good people.
Her effort to temporarily "take leave and re-group" and at the same
time stand in for soon to be vacationing, Constable Pete Hines, in
his "peaceful little town," sends her straight into a foreign and
frightening environment of wild animals and poachers-and to the aid
of a rookie game warden who is in imminent danger of losing his
life. In her struggle to maintain her own equilibrium, what she
didn't count on is falling in love with Daniel and also with this
(in her mother's words) "poverty-row town." Daniel is a fl awed and
sacrificial hero. Though agile and intuitive in the ways of the
woods, this PHD graduate in Wildlife Biology only became a game
officer so he could be near his grieving foster mother as she
endures the death of her biological son. Daniel's authority is put
to the test because the previous game warden looked the other way
on poaching, and the poor people of this area liked it better that
way. Here in Kaskitesiw, hunting is an equalizer and problems are
resolved within the darkness of trees. Gently and not so gently,
Emily encourages Daniel through physical healing. Yet her guilt
festers for the victims she wasn't in time to save and depression,
over what humankind can do at its worst, threatens to take her from
her career, Daniel, and even her own life. Daniel must find trust
in God once more before he can begin to help Emily. But when he
does - it seems as if he is too late.
