RCMP Sergeant Scott DuBois has visions that often shine a bright light on evil disguised as good. He hates them because:
They render him helpless;
They are graphic and brutal, and:
They leave him exhausted.
This last one portrayed a murder so heinous even his experiences as a cop could not prepare him. Worse yet, the victim was to be the woman he loved.
Once again, Keara was in grave danger, and no one knew why. Two strangers arrive in town. One stranger is handsome, pleasing to the eye, yet almost invisible as he weaves in and out of sight like a shadow on a cloudy day. The ‘other’ who claims to be there to help Scott and Keara understand and to protect them, in possession of ancient journals and knowledge of a battle in which they are unknowing participants in; a strange woman with secrets, who Scott doesn’t trust.
New knowledge brings new fears. Who is the real enemy and who can be trusted? Can the depths of long forgotten love, from the unlikeliest of sources, bring hope to the town and the world?
Marlene was so very talented in many areas. Her family was her priority, and being with her children and grandchildren gave her much joy. Her brilliant smile came so easily when she talked about them. She was a steadfast friend, a good listener, able to provide a different perspective and always ready for a fresh adventure and some laughs. Once she formed a friendship with you, you knew she had your back - through thick or thin.
Professionally, she was a teacher among teachers. She pushed her students but treated them with respect and kindness. In return, the students worked hard and respected her. She was ready for a little humour and fun in her classes, coming up with new and improved lesson plans to suit her students. Marlene was an avid runner - determined to improve, as she pushed herself to new levels, including marathons.
She was a very spiritual person, exploring new ways of understanding life. She enjoyed travelling after her children were grown and spending time in new places. Although it is difficult to describe all that made her such a beautiful person, those of us who were privileged to be part of her life remember her with respect, admiration and love.
