Book excerpt: It is just after two’clock in the morning in August 2017 as a hurricane churns in the Atlantic ocean. Rod Brown, who is on the early shift at the Caribbean weather station on the island of St. Martin, boots up his computer while wondering how the day will end. The hurricane is headed directly for St. Martin. Even worse, he has just received news that his seventeen-year-old son, Scott, a freshman at Florida’s Sunderland University, is missing. Unfortunately all airplanes are grounded, leaving him feeling helpless. Allegedly involved in a fraternity hazing, Scott was last seen leaving the campus with other students in a SUV. As Rod is eventually evacuated from the island and transported to Puerto Rico, he must rely on his faith as a Unitarian Universalist to carry him through his worries about Scott. Finally as Rod makes his way to Florida amid horrible weather and begins a desperate search to locate and rescue his son, Scott awakens in a dark cavern, alone, frightened, and determined to find his way to the light again. But as he begins exploring the cave, Scott has no idea of what awaits him that will change everything. In this inspirational tale, a father on a quest to find his missing son must rely on his faith for strength as the past rises up to meet the present and reveals a shocking secret.
