Facing Tomorrow

In this Christian cozy mystery, four people are trying to follow God's guidance in their lives. The scene is a small city (Springton) in southern Michigan near Lake Michigan, in a high school and the local hospital. The big problem, as we learn right away, is Joe, the school s football coach. If only he weren t so domineering, conceited, and narcissistic, life would be good. But someone finally has had enough and gets rid of him. Then the mystery must be solved. There are four main characters: Emily, an English teacher; Franklin, her husband and assistant principal in the freshman wing; Emily s son Tom who is going to college at Western Michigan University but volunteers at the local hospital on the weekends; and Emily s best friend Pat, who also teaches English. The story is told from the perspective of each of these four people, one chapter at a time. They each go through important life issues as they also try to solve the mystery of Joe s death.
