ABOUT THE BOOK: The beautiful piano sitting in the corner of Jill King's apartment begs to be played. For over a year, it has sat untouched, ever since a terrible accident shattered Jill's ambition of becoming a concert pianist. The ragged scar on her left hand is a cruel and constant reminder of the death of her dream. But another dream is about to come to life---an unexpected, horrifying dream that will present Jill with a responsibility she never wanted. And choices she never wanted to make. Hundreds of lives depend on Jill's willingness to warn her small, oceanside town in Nova Scotia of a nameless, looming disaster. But doing so could cost Jill her reputation, jeopardize the political career of the man she loves, and ruin their plans for a future together. The fate of an entire community hangs in the balance as Jill wrestles with the cost of heeding one still, small voice.

MY REVIEW: This book was so very unlike anything I’ve read before… and I loved every minute of it!
Still putting her life back together after a terrible accident, Jill begins having a very disturbing dream. A sense of urgency leads her to question whether the dreams could be from God – or are they merely a product of her subconscious? And is she ready to put everything she holds dear on the line on the off chance that the dream is real?
This book was so thought provoking and I love it when a fiction book can do that. Even better, the authors also provided an alternate ending, which also led to thought. Very great book!
