Three Day Nights

by Sandi Huddleston-Edwards

Three Day Nights, a page-turner that recalls the senseless and cold-blooded murders of three dedicated law officers and explores the possibility of forgiveness in the wake of the darkest sins. This book is an intersection of facts and fiction – an amalgam of events, rumored stories, composite characters, and imagination and one impacted by a myriad of issues: domestic abuse, poverty, depression, violence, and alcoholism. The story reminds us that our sins are equal in the eyes of God, and no matter what sins we commit in our lifetime, God’s grace and mercy offers unconditional love and forgiveness when it is accepted with remorse and repentance. Jesus’s death on the cross paid the price for our sins.

Three Day Nights will help readers to 1) recognize that life is a precious nanosecond by nanosecond journey that can be terminated all too easily by the maliciousness of a single, reckless act; 2) explore the act of forgiveness that God exemplifies and makes possible; and 3) extend helping hands to the hungry, the sick, the imprisoned, the destitute, the grief stricken, the orphan, and the widow.

About the author

As a Carolina girl all the way. I was born in High Point, raised in Durham, and lived in Charlotte, North Carolina for 30 years until my husband and I retired and moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

I attended North Carolina State University, Central Piedmont Community College, and the University of North Carolina - Charlotte where I earned a BA and MA in English and Reading and Rhetoric, respectively.

I worked as a Cashier at Home Security Life Insurance Company, a stenographer at Liggett Group, and many roles during my 36 years at Duke Power / Duke Energy.

My life is blessed by being married to my soul partner. Together, Barry and I have three sons -- Todd, Jeff, and Jeremy -- who make us very proud. We also have two Yorkies, Maddie and Abbie, that we call our "babies." And they are babied, especially by Barry.

My greatest satisfaction is having a reader to be inspired by one of my books. Writing isn't as glamorous as the movies show. It's hard work and takes lots of time in researching, drafting, writing, and revising. But it's my passion.

I've always read biographies to learn more about humanity, how people have lived their lives and what lessons they have learned. That's why I love to write MEMOIRS and HISTORICAL NOVELS or anything God leads me to write.

I want to be your next Favorite Author.

Thank you to the author for the giveaway! This story covers the real-life murders of three police officers in North Carolina on May 31, 1979 by one James Hutchins, who was on Death Row awaiting execution. I enjoyed the characters of Tony and Alex, two friends researching this story for a book and both of their backstories, as well as the enigmatic Charles Lafrere who they interviewed as he knew the killer. This story reminds us of an important lesson from the Bible of forgiveness. As a Christian person I am grateful for this reminder as I needed to apply it in my life as well. Very enjoyable.

Quick easy read that reminds us that we are all human and make mistakes. It is a good reminder of how we have our own challenges in life and that we should all approach each other with empathy and compassion as we do not know the other individuals internal struggles.
