Healing Sands

Healing Sands by Nancy Rue and Stephen Arterburn is an easy read that hooks you in fairly quickly. The book tells the story of Ryan Coe, a photographer who moved to be closer to her two boys, Jake and Alex, who live with her ex-husband.

She has difficulty re-entering their lives and when her son Jake is arrested, she feels like her life is completely our of her control. She believes he is innocent, but her husband refuses to allow her son to discuss the situation with her. When her son shuts down completely, she begins to see a local therapist, Dr. Sullivan Crisp. She realizes that she needs to control her anger in order to get through to her son and make a difference in his life.

Dr. Crisp, or Sully as he is known, is also new to the area and is struggling with his own pain and sorrow following the deaths of his wife and infant daughter. Sully and Ryan work together in their search for healing.

Although I thought the book was very predictable, I enjoyed it enough that I purchased the other titles in the Sullivan Crisp series and they also made for enjoyable reading.
