Over Her Head: A faith-based domestic suspense novel of a woman in crisis
About this ebook
What kind of mother suspects her own daughter of murder?
Laurie Hale has the perfect life—and the perfect family to go with it. All she wants is for her kids to find the popularity and success in school that she enjoyed back in the day. But one night on the Smoke River bridge, a bid for popularity goes wrong and one of the teens from that weird group, the Elect of God, is found dead.
When the police begin to investigate her daughter Anna, fear and suspicion begin to eat away at everything Laurie values. Anna is just one of several teenage suspects, but none of them is saying a word, and peaceful Smoke River divides along religious lines—to the point that Laurie is even asked to bow out of her prayer group just when she needs their support. Her marriage starts to crumble and her standing in town shows its shaky foundations.
Laurie doesn’t want to face the truth. But it’s the job of investigator Nick Tremore, her cousin, to find it. What if Anna really was there the night that Elect girl, Randi Peizer, was killed? Why is Nick spending so much time with Randi’s mother? And what kind of person is Laurie if she can doubt her own child’s innocence?
“Every mother and her teen daughter should read Over Her Head together. And dads, too. Powerful. Moving. Uplifting.” —Lyn Cote, author of The Women of Ivy Manor series
Over Her Head is the fourth novel in the inspirational Breaking Faith domestic suspense series.

No strong language, just a dollop of suspense, a loving kiss, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Sage Parker, Christy Barritt, or Charles Martin, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!
