Synopsis:
Desperate to escape haunting memories, J. D. Jessup travels from Nashville to Tucson and volunteers on an organic farm. The hardened landowner has one prevailing rule: If J. D. sees an “illegal,” call the border patrol. But when an early morning ride along the fence line leads him to a beautiful young woman named Maria, near death in the desert, his heart pulls him in another direction.
Longing to atone for the choices that drove him to Tucson, J. D. hides her and unleashes a chain of deadly events he could never have imagined. Soon they are running from a killer and fighting for their lives. As secrets of their pasts emerge, J. D. realizes that saving Maria may be the only way to save himself.
My thoughts:
This riveting Christian novel bares the human soul! In 'Borders Of The Heart' Chris Fabry describes love, hate, drugs, passion and fear in his unmistakable gripping style!
Plagued by dreams and nightmares which leaves him often sleepless, J. D. Jessup is hiding from his past on a organic farm under the guise of learning the business.
His life takes however a turn for the worse when he rescues a young lady he assume is an illegal immigrant and his new boss is, like everyone else in the area, very much against illegals .
What follows is a fast paced thriller that becomes a page turner impossible to put down, trust me!
J. D. soon discovers friends and foes whilst battling paid killers, bounty hunters, a drug cartel and what amounts finally to the whole county!
An impressing novel and a clear reminder God is really in control, Borders of The Heart is also filled with a great deal of family values!
Chris Fabry gives a fine example of why bad things happen to good people in this novel! You will want to read this one!
A resounding 5 stars!!
About the Author:
Chris Fabry tells us:
"My stories come from life and sometimes art imitates stories.
Four years ago my family and I moved to the desert. I'm not a desert person. But I knew the experience would at some point provide a rich, fertile place to tell a dusty tale.
Borders of the Heart is my nod toward some of the great western writers--Cormac McCarthy and Larry McMurtry. It's a love story, a painful story of loss, a mystery, and an edge-of-your-seat thriller. I hope you enjoy the ride through Tucson and the surrounding area as much as I did."
