The Crossing by Serita Jakes
This book was a book that had me interested within the first chapter. It kept me intrigued until the very end, and trying to guess the conclusion.
This is a not what I would call a traditional christian fiction book. I would certainly recommend this book for more mature readers. The characters in this story deal with some real issues, including anger, drunkenness, depression, greed, adultery, abuse, and many more.
A high school cheerleader, Claudia was riding the team bus home after a Friday night football game. While at a railroad crossing, a masked gunman comes onto the bus and murders the bus driver, the cheerleading coach, injures one of the football players.
Fast forward ten years, and the murder is unsolved. With the help of Officer Casio Hightower, the football player who survived being shot that dreadful night, Victor Campbell, Claudia's husband, sets out to solve this mystery and help put the demons and nightmares to rest. Claudia suffers from PTSD from this incident where her best friend dies and Claudia is there to not only witness, but sit by her side through her last breaths.
As the story unfolds, and the investigation of what happened at the railroad crossing ten years before continues, each character has their own "crossing" to deal with. Will they be able to find the truth of that night, and more importantly find the truth of Christ?
I look forward to reading more books by Serita Jakes.
