He built an empire—and destroyed his foundation in the process.
When a mysterious stranger tells Colton Ray Walker he has three years to live, the high-powered entrepreneur laughs it off. But as time passes, the warning starts to unravel him from the inside out. Haunted by broken relationships and the small-town life he left behind, Colton is forced to confront the man he’s become—and the people he’s hurt along the way.
As he navigates a world of power, pride, and pain, Colton is drawn back to the family, friends, and first love he abandoned. But redemption has a price—and some consequences can’t be outrun. With the clock ticking, Colton must decide what kind of legacy he’ll leave... before his time runs out.
A gripping, heart-driven story about second chances, quiet faith, and the inescapable weight of the past—perfect for fans of redemption arcs, small-town drama, and the still, small voice of grace.
Dave Rader was born in Collinsville, Oklahoma, and raised in the small town of Wakita. From an early age, he felt called to help others—a passion that shaped his career in customer service and his years of volunteer work at his local church. That heart for serving naturally led him into writing, beginning with a social media Bible devotional and growing into a passion for sharing encouragement, faith, and practical wisdom with readers. Today, as an author, Dave continues that mission through books that inspire spiritual growth, offer hope, and strengthen faith. He writes with the desire that every page will encourage, challenge, and uplift those who read his work.
Heart warming, eye opening, emotional story. I started reading and could not put the book down until I finished. I laughed and I cried. The book brought out the emotions. I loved and I cannot wait for his next book!
