Love's Beating Heart

By Stephanie Parker McKean

After Cat Majors' boyfriend, Ty, leaves her beaten and bloody on a Texas Hill Country road, Cat hides in the back seat of a pickup truck and is rescued by a Christian family. Although the Creekmores' beliefs and behavior are as foreign to Cat as if she'd been dropped on another planet, she feels safe with them. But Ty finds and kidnaps Cat, beating her viciously and leaving her for dead. Sky and family friend, Jesse, save her. Believing herself in love with Sky, Cat is determined to win him away from his wife. Meanwhile, Cat's younger sister, Dena, whom she has always protected, runs away with her best friend, Natasha, who is pregnant and being abused. Natasha's stepfather insists on an abortion and threatens to cut the baby out himself if she refuses. Without Cat's guidance, Dena has to rely on herself as Natasha and she struggle to survive a flash flood and danger from Texas Hill Country wildlife and heartless human predators. Will Cat's and Dena's desperation lead them to God-or abandon them in a pit of hurt and bitterness?
