Follow on Google News | Champagne Books Announces the Release of The Prodigal's Redemption by Mary EasonMary Eason grew up in a small Texas town famous for, well not much of anything really. As a pre-teen, Mary discovered romance novels and knew instinctively that was what she wanted to do with her over-active imagination.
By: Tami @ Champagne Books ~~~ The headlights of the Hummer caught something strange up ahead. Something that looked like smoke coming from just up the road, but it was still too early in the season for fires. The low beam of the lights found a break in the snow covered road made by a set of tire tracks that started twenty feet ahead and went straight over the edge of the mountain. They were fresh. Devon slammed on the breaks and said a silent prayer for the four-wheel drive. The Hummer shuddered, but managed to grip the road. He hit the SUV’s flashers and got out of the vehicle, reaching for his cell phone in the process. It was almost impossible to see beyond the driving snow over the side of the mountain, but wedged in a group of trees was a small car, its front end crushed beyond recognition against them. Smoke billowed up from its wasted engine but as far as he could see, there wasn’t any fire...yet. After several attempts to get a signal on the phone, Devon was able to dial 911. He told the operator what had happened and asked her to send EMS air-flight services as quick as possible out of Bedford. Devon’s footsteps stumbled over the frozen terrain as he made his way slowly down the mountain, managing with difficulty to keep his footing through the deep ice and snow. At fourteen thousand feet, it took months of warm days for this much accumulation to melt. When Devon reached the driver’s side, he knew in an instant it was bad. The driver, a young kid, lay smashed and bleeding against the steering wheel. The airbag hadn’t inflated and the kid wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. The door was so badly crushed that it wouldn’t budge when Devon tried to pry it open. The side window had been shattered by the impact. Just a few jagged pieces of glass still held in place. He felt for a pulse at the base of the young man’s throat, almost certain he was dead or close to it. There was no way anyone could have survived that type of an impact unprotected. Devon couldn’t find a sign of life in the boy and was just about ready to move around to the passenger, a woman who didn’t look much better than the driver, when he heard the faint, struggling gasp for breath coming from what he’d believed to be the deceased driver.
