Deep Blue Sea
Who's to blame when tragedy strikes?
Jamie blames herself.
And her secret is killing her.
When someone starts digging into the past, her already-tattered life begins to fall apart at the seams. With her marriage, her job, and her sanity in jeopardy, Jamie is desperate to escape everything that reminds her of that fateful night.
If only the nightmares would stop.
Pastor Byron lost both his wife and teenage son in the same weekend.
One in an accident, the other in an argument.
Determined to win his son back, no matter the cost, Byron strikes out at every turn until he gets injured at work. Forced to visit him in the hospital, his son makes it clear he doesn't appreciate Byron's intrusion into his life.
When Jamie meets Byron, the peace in the old pastor's eyes tells her he might be able to help with her problems. In return, she's determined to help him reconcile with his son.
As the pastor teaches Jamie about God's forgiveness, she must make a choice between seeking forgiveness from her family or keeping her mouth shut forever.
Either way, her life will never be the same.
Fans of Karen Kingsbury will enjoy the realistic characters and faith-driven novels by Valerie Howard.

About the Author
Valerie's goal in writing is to bring people closer to Jesus one chapter at a time.
Valerie has been writing stories since she was in second grade when she wrote "The Mystery of the Missing Crayon." She gave up writing mysteries soon after and now concentrates on real-life stories that tackle tough issues such as homelessness, unplanned pregnancy, family tragedy, childhood trauma, foster care, poverty, and terminal cancer. All of her books are filled with the hope and love of Christ and are uplifting and feel-good with happy, though sometimes tearful, endings as her characters overcome their obstacles with God at their side. She also writes biblical non-fiction, indie author non-fiction, children's books, allegorical fiction, and small church Christmas plays. (She's a little obsessed with writing.)
Valerie is a fan of summer, warmth, and flip-flips, so she often wonders why she lives in Maine where she is frozen for the better half of the year. But her amazing husband and adorable sons live there with her, so it's not all bad. She graduated from Bible College with a degree in Bible and Missions a long, long time ago in a state far, far away.
