An unsolved case.
A tempest of memories.
The future's at stake - and time is running out...

Gwen Marcey has done a good job keeping the pain of her past boxed up. But as she investigates the case of a missing child in Lapwai, Idaho, details keep surfacing that are eerily similar to her childhood traumas.  She doesn't believe in coincidences.  So what's going on here?

No one knows more about the impact of the past than the Nez Perce people of Lapwai.  Gwen finds herself an unwelcome visitor to some, making her investigation even more difficult.  The questions keep piling up, but answers are slow in coming - and the clock is ticking for a missing little girl.  Meanwhile, Gwen's ex-husband is threatening to take sole custody of their daughter.

As Gwen's past and present collide, she's in a desperate race for the truth.  Because only the truth will ensure she still has a future.

My Thoughts:
Carrie Stuart Parks has knocked it out of the ballpark once again!  Her Gwen Marcey novels have everything I love in a good book/story:  genuine characters, real life situations, unique locations, and mystery/suspense.  Portrait of Vengeance is a for sure page-turner.  Gwen Marcey is such an endearing and strong woman and her sense of humor is infectious.  This particular story is personal as Gwen's past and present collide. Readers can't help but love her! She's genuine and her characteristics jump off the page and into the reader's mind and heart.  Reading this story almost felt like I was experiencing this journey with Gwen.  I was invested from page one.

You don't want to miss these novels!
