She wakes on the shore of a remote lake in the middle of the night, freezing and afraid. With no memory of who she is or how she got there, she stumbles frantically toward the lights of a house. The handsome stranger who lives there is shocked to see a woman on his doorstep and takes her in. Trapped by a winter storm and cut off from the outside world, she starts to suspect that all is not right with the house on Gravewater Lake—or the man, who says his name is Gregg.

When his former senior chief, Steve Auger, is brutally assassinated, former Navy SEAL officer Matthew Barrett has a choice to make. He can slide back into an all too familiar pattern of alcohol abuse and depression, or he can shake his demons and hunt down the murderers responsible for his friend’s death.

After 15 years and far too many combat tours to remember, Matthew Barrett is finished. Medically retired from the SEAL Teams for multiple medical and psychological conditions, he wallows in self-pity, spiraling down until suicide seems the only relief from his anguish. Then a text from a former teammate asking Matt to help find his kidnapped daughter changes everything. Aided by a team of ex-SEALs, ex-fighter pilots, and a former FBI agent, Matt will follow his quest to its end, deep into the ugly world of human trafficking, and perhaps even find a shot at a new life.

Matthew Barrett is a SEAL combat leader who wears the Navy Cross - proof of his prowess as a warrior and an irrefutable symbol of his personal valor. Yet, as adept as he was in the art of war, Matthew was a failure at love and still haunted by the long shadow of his father. His overdue break from near continuous combat tours is suddenly interrupted when he’s injected into an international crisis in Central America, and he finds he’s once again required to execute an impossible task that could very well be a one-way trip.

They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.
