Samantha McGregor has a gift. A gift God gave her and she does her best to help people when He sends her the visions. This time her visions include her brother who is returning home from rehab and his friend Tate. But the visions are unsettling and she prays that she will be able to save her brother before it is too late.

Ebony, a police officer, has enlisted Sam to be on a drug task force and do surveillance for the department. She wants Sam's help to hopefully lead them to the distributors of drugs in their small town. She knows about Sam's gift and helps her when she can through the troubling visions. But how will she handle things if Sam has to turn her own brother in?

Samantha is excited her brother is coming home and invites his friend Tate to his welcome home party. Little does she know, Tate is not one of his 'safe' friends. Things begin to spiral out of control and she feels as though her world is dangerously close to tipping upside down. With Ebony helping her, she feels she is doing what she can to stop the drug dealers. After warning a friend she is in danger if she does not stay away from drugs, Sam, Ebony and Eric, find the girl just where Sam knew she would be. But is her brother responsible?

I read this book in one sitting. It is an amazing story and very well written. Sam is strong and full of courage and her faith in God leads her through her daily life. The secondary characters complete the story with their trials and their relationship with Sam. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a strong storyline with well developed characters.
