About this ebook
Imprisoned by memories, Claudia Campbell lives each day in the shadow of a ten-year-old murder. Who can set her free?
On the way home from a football game, a decade earlier, a masked gunman opened fire on a Texas school bus. Cheerleading coach B.J. Remington was killed, but her murderer was never found. Claudia, who had a close friendship with the young, spirited teacher, constantly relives the anguish of that day, caught in one moment in time. When her husband, the assistant district attorney, becomes determined to uncover the mystery of that tragedy, the secrets buried over the years threaten to tear their family apart.
Officer Casio Hightower will never forget the day his dreams were destroyed. A star quarterback with a promising future, Casio was on top of the world—until one bullet changed everything. He is eager to help Victor Campbell find B.J.’s killer, the man who shot him. Maybe solving the case will help silence the demons driving Casio to hurt the woman he loves.
As the Campbells and Casio teeter on the brink of losing everything, will they be able to discover that what begins at the crossing ends at the cross?

"The Crossing" is a page-turner hinging its readers on every page. It is emotionally intelligent as it draws us into each vignette creating a sense of anticipation for the next. Its descriptions are vivid conduits carrying insights into the mind of every character. Daring to delve into such a controversial subject yet attacking it from the practical biblical point of view with relatable responses and subsequent resolutions is highly commendable. The format in which the novel is written is genius as it allows its readers to absorb the individual characters and scenery one step at a time. The format also makes way for an easy transition into a screenplay.
