By Skeeter James Ebersole

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but as Jeff Martinson accepted a prize for guessingthe first road closure of the evening, footage of the responsible accident played across theTV. A trapped family ruined it for lightening things up. The boss wasn't amused by hisson's antics.The accident scene was difficult to work, especially for Officer Rodriguez, a rookie onhis first patrol. It was one of many difficulties he'd face that night, finishing his shiftwith desk duty and mandated counseling, for which he chose a retired pastor servingas a police chaplain.Months later Jeff began helping a little girl from the accident but didn't make theconnection. It went against his nature to volunteer to help without reward, but painfulmemories betrayed him not once, but three times. At least the elderly pastor he met onlyneeded a ride now and then.Pastor Boston discovered his involvement wasn't the only coincidence connecting hishelper and his client. Can Jeff get back in his father's good graces while helping thesepeople? What got Rodriguez in trouble? Why does Rodriguez find Jeff's face sofamiliar? What happened to both men that New Year's Eve?
