Today an author new to me, Amy Wallace tells us about her latest book.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you love breath-stealing suspense, unforgettable characters, and remarkable spiritual depth in your fiction, Enduring Justice is a book to savor. Amy Wallace is at her best with this poignant, grace-filled addition to her deeply satisfying Defenders of Hope Series.\u201d \u2014CLAUDIA MAIR BURNEY, author of Wounded: A Love Story<\/p>\n

<\/span>ENDURING JUSTICE <\/span> Secrets Can\u2019t Last Forever
<\/span>A PAINFUL PAST <\/span> Hanna Kessler\u2019s childhood secret has remained buried for over two decades. But when the dark shadows of her past threaten to destroy those she loves, Hanna must face the summer that changed her life and the man who still haunts her memories.<\/p>\n

<\/span> A RACIALLY-MOTIVATED KILLER <\/span> As a Crimes Against Children FBI Agent, Michael Parker knows what it means to get knocked down. Difficult cases and broken relationships have plagued his entire year. But when the system fails and a white supremacist is set free, Michael\u2019s drive for retribution eclipses all else.<\/p>\n

<\/span>A LIFE-ALTERING CHOICE <\/span> A racist’s well-planned assault forces Hanna and Michael to decide between executing vengeance and pursuing justice. The dividing line is the choice to heal. But when the attack turns personal, is justice enough? <\/span> <\/span> <\/p>\n

Q and A with author Amy Wallace
<\/span> Q. Where did the idea for the stories in the DEFENDERS OF HOPE series come from?
<\/span> A. The Defenders of Hope series started with a literal dream about an FBI agent with a wounded heart and a mom on a dangerous quest for answers. That dream became the book Ransomed Dreams. During the research for Ransomed Dreams, I met with a federal agent and asked the question\u2014what would happen if an FBI agent found out he had cancer? His answer became the second book, Healing Promises. And the third book in the series, Enduring Justice, grew out of a secret one of the characters, Hanna Kessler, struggles to keep hidden.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Q. One of the key themes running through Enduring Justice is racism, as Hanna\u2019s love interest, FBI Agent Michael Parker, is investigating a white supremacist. Why is this topic near to your heart?
A. I grew up in the military and had friends of all skin colors and nationalities. One of my best friends was African American. We never talked about our skin color, but I remember one time she made a comment about how people treated her differently because of her skin. She wouldn\u2019t explain. It wasn\u2019t until years later after hearing some ugly words from extended family members about people of other skin colors that I started to understand racism still exists. And it breaks my heart. Through Hanna and Eve and Michael and Lee, I wanted to highlight some of the challenges I\u2019ve learned about from friends of other nationalities and also to show that it\u2019s not skin color that matters, it\u2019s who we are on the inside. We truly can be color-blind.<\/p>\n

Q. Where can readers learn more about you, Enduring Justice, and your other books?

Thanks, Amy. Amy shared that this story comes from <\/span><\/span>the shards of her once-broken heart. <\/span> <\/p>\n

Amy: “Fifteen years ago, God placed me in a safe place and used my future husband\u2019s hands to hold me together while my heart shattered. David was the first person to hear about my being date raped when I was a teen. For five years I\u2019d denied what happened or blamed myself. So when my walls of secrecy started to crumble, I felt alone and terrified. <\/span><\/p>\n

But God met me there. He covered my shame with His grace and we started down the painful path of healing. Even though this isn\u2019t the same circumstances as what Hanna Kessler faces in Enduring Justice<\/i><\/b>, a lot of my personal story went into the writing. And while this subject may qualify this story as \u201cgritty,\u201d the focus is not on the past experiences, but on the healing an adult woman finds as she opens up to her family and the man she loves.”<\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing the story of your trial and strength, Amy. And your book<\/span> sounds like an excellent read!–Lyn
