Swiftwater

by Alisa Weis

When Julie Fletcher, a switchboard operator in the small, coal mining town of Roslyn, WA starts listening in on calls, she has no idea of the consequences awaiting her. In thinking that she can provide her fiancé Hal Oatridge with names of those disloyal to the established union, she doesn't foresee that certain information will lead to a murder setup that changes not only her life, but those surrounding her. In trying to mend her trespasses, Julie finds herself grappling with the relationship she holds dear, her conscience and her faith in God.

This book is beautifully written with complex characters and makes you feel like you're back in the small mining town of Roslyn, WA. The story grabbed my attention from the first page and became more compelling as it went on.
