Pushing Back the Darkness
Claire Sullivan has not been the same since the death of her parents, particularly the unsolved vicious murder of her father, Judge Patrick Sullivan. She finds some solace in the arms of her longtime boyfriend, Detective Cole Peretti, but even he cannot fill the void in her heart. In addition to her grief, she is plagued by reoccurring nightmares of a specific girl.
When she sees the girl featured on the news as a runaway foster child, Claire realizes there is more involved than sheer coincidence.
Spurred to action, she ventures down the grittiest streets of Houston, Texas, to find and rescue the girl from her nightmares—against Cole’s advice. Danger escalates when she comes face to face with the ugly truth of human trafficking and her limited ability to protect herself and those she loves the most.
When the unthinkable happens, will Claire surrender to her own will and refuse to forgive? Or is there still time to join other believers and push back the darkness through the power of prayer and spiritual warfare?
Pushing Back the Darkness is a riveting Christian thriller that addresses the realities of modern day slavery. It is an adventure you will not forget and a call to shine the light of Christ into your world.

Pushing Back the Darkness
Pushing Back the Darkness is one of the best books I have read in a long time. This book opens the reader not only to the darkness of human trafficking and slavery, but also love and redemptive power of Jesus Christ. I would read more from this author.
