About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

John (Safe Harbor series) sets her new novel in the world of diplomacy. Sheridan Montgomery is the wife of Eliot Montgomery, ambassador to Venezuela. When an assassin's bullets cripple Eliot and wound his wife, the traumatized couple retreats from the world to an off-the-map hamlet in Mexico. Sheridan is called from there when her father, a U.S. congressman from whom she is estranged, is dying. She returns to her family home in suburban Chicago to confront her past and make some decisions about her present, which includes her atrophied marriage to an invalid. The tangled relationships are engrossing and evolving, especially between Sheridan and her sister, Calissa, and between Sheridan and Luke Traynor, the government man who saved her life in Venezuela and returns to complicate her life. The criminal elements in the plot are less compelling than the human elements. The religion element required in Christian fiction is unobtrusive and natural to a story about healing. A thoughtful and engaging novel. (July)

From Booklist:

After someone shoots her husband Eliot, Sheridan Montgomery spirits him away to a remote village in Mexico to mend. As the U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela, Eliot had fame, fortune, and a target on his back. And now they’re not as hidden and isolated as Sheridan thought. Luke Traynor, a man with secrets, and possibly a spy, the same person who shielded the Montgomerys with his own body during the attack in Venezuela, has found their Mexican hideout. He has news about Sheridan’s dad, and it isn’t pretty. Sheridan has to go to Chicago to sort out her ailing father’s shady affairs, and this, coupled with the trauma from the shooting, and the fact that Eliot hasn’t really recovered from being shot, pushes her to the brink. John has penned an exciting, faith-based story about someone who learns the hard way that you can run, but you can’t hide. --Shelley Mosley
