Three full-length suspense novels from multi-award winning Christian novelist Alana Terry. A three-in-one bundle of suspense and page-turning excitement as missionary kid Kennedy Stern faces more danger, mystery, and controversy than she knows how to handle.
Confronted with questions of underage abortion, plagued by a stalker and paralyzing PTSD flashbacks, and eventually caught in the center of a police brutality scandal, Kennedy discovers that her first year at Harvard University involves a lot more than passing a few lab classes and fulfilling her premed requirements.
With her parents serving North Korean refugees overseas, Kennedy befriends a loving and highly opinionated pastor, his hospitable and encouraging wife, an eccentric but respectful roommate whose worldview is drastically different from Kennedy's, and a foreign lab partner who's harboring a grave secret he'd do just about anything to keep from being exposed.
The Kennedy Stern Christian suspense series tackles controversial issues facing the church today and brings them to light in a way that encourages questions and fosters discussions without ever turning preachy or heavy-handed.
Find out why readers from all faiths and denominations, all walks of life, and all sides of the political spectrum are devouring this thought-provoking series from Christian fiction author Alana Terry, who has won awards from Women of Faith, Grace Awards, The Book Club Network, Readers' Favorite, and many others.
RJ, a pharmaceutical salesman and former college athlete, can't shake the death of his best friend Will, even after thirteen years. In a long letter to his father, he describes being returned again and again to the days surrounding Will's death, where RJ is given a chance to prevent the deadly car accident and save his friend. After RJ's repeated unsuccessful efforts, he turns his attention to the recipients of Will's organ donations. As we learn more about Will's life, we watch RJ decline into depression and self-sanity-questioning. The organ recipients are a pediatric surgeon, a former professional baseball player, a grizzled plumber disowned by his family, and others who leave us questioning who deserves mercy and grace. Will RJ finally save Will? How will the living nightmare of his best friend's repeating death end? And will RJ survive the experience himself? What about those who need Will's organs? Why did RJ write this letter to his father? The fast-paced narration inspired by actual events is an emotional elevator, delivering surprises until the very last words. It leaves readers wondering what was real and what wasn't, asking deep and lasting questions about faith and destiny.

And just when she's ready for a respite from all the terror and trauma, she's trapped in the middle of a hospital lockdown during a global epidemic.
Through it all, Kennedy learns to cling to her faith in God and let go of some of her previously held notions about what it means to be a fruit-bearing Christian in contemporary society.
