Shattered Justice

Deputyrs"s Sense of Justice Destroyed Therers"s no way sheriffrs"s deputy Dan Justice could have prepared for this. He spent a lifetime ensuring his actions and faith live up to the meaning of his name-Avidan: "God is just." Then injustice invades his world, ripping away what matters most, forever robbing him of the life he once knew. Can his sisters and small-town community-especially one woman who loves Dan-help him overcome the horrors hers"s facing? Or will bitterness and anger shatter him forever? What happens when justice fails the lawman? Sanctuary, Oregon . A town where the local diner owner makes you drink your milk-no matter how old you are. Where juvenile delinquency means blowing up outhouses. Where folks not only know their neighbors, but care about them. For widowed sheriffrs"s deputy Dan Justice, itrs"s a place where he and his kids can heal and grow. Shelby Wilson loves Sanctuary and her work with troubled teens. Like Jayce Dalton. Sure, hers"s as troubled as they come, but Shelby knows Dan is exactly what Jayce needs. She just didnrs"t expect that Dan might be what shers"s always needed, too. But sleepy little Sanctuary has a dark side, steeped in pain and secrets. Secrets that could destroy everything Dan holds dear. Secrets that will one day have Dan groping through the fog toward a lifeless body-and faith-shattering grief. Can Dan find sanctuary in the light of Godrs"s justice? "A surefire hit!"- Karen Kingsbury , bestselling author ofBeyond Tuesday Morning "Shattered Justiceis for anyone who has ever known grief or asked God, "Why me?"- Terri Blackstock , bestselling author ofRiverrs"s Edge Story Behind the Book "The idea forShattered Justicecame out of an article I read in the newspaper. This very thing happened to a police officer. As I read the article, I kept wondering how anyone who spent his life serving others could ever come back from such a horrific, unjust loss. Of course the details in this book differ from the event that inspired it, but the story unfolds from a similar life-shattering event and follows Dan as he struggles with grief and anger."
