Storm Passing, though complete in itself, is the sequel to the novel Approaching Storm.
Life has changed for Belle Lapointe. As a small child she was abused by an uncaring step-father. Escape came when in desperation she told her story to school counsellor Ruth Hammond, plunging both into danger as they ran from the stepfather and from authorities that threatened to return her. With a blizzard as a backdrop, a night of terror and death finally ended the abuse and explained the unsolved murder of a popular young teacher.
Now six years have passed, and Belle has managed to put the childhood abuse behind her. She lives with Ruth’s parents, Bob and Helen Hammond, is an outstanding student at her high school, and life can only get better.
But Belle can’t escape her past. Once more, she finds herself among the hunted, and the stakes are far higher. This time it’s not just abuse, but insane revenge that threatens every member of her new family.
She’s not a child anymore, but is protecting the people she loves more than she can handle?
For a second time, Belle and Ruth find themselves in a battle, where good seems a weak force against evil as old as time.
