I’ve read and reviewed three of the author's Mystic Bay series books, starting with Town of Angels, and appreciated that this inspirational book, like all books in the series, proved the power of the human spirit to move on despite incredible tragedy and personal loss. The author’s daughter, Kate, was killed in a tragic accident, and then her husband died, and during a difficult period where many would have succumbed to despair, Jody had a dream in which a voice told her to read “Charlotte’s Web,” by E.V. White, which is a children’s book.

What would you do if the slashers from horror movies didn't stay inside the screen? Would you run? How far could you get? Would you fight? For how long? Could you do what was needed to survive? For us none of those questions are hypothetical they are something that we have to answer day in and day out. Horror movies slashers are something that we have had to deal with for close to twenty years now. At first, we ran, wouldn't you? Then we reach a turning point where running and hiding was not cutting it anymore. No now it was time for us to take the fight to them.
