No Simple Sacrifice (Secrets of Stone book 5)
“A memory had hounded me all week…along with many others. My grandfather had survived a heart attack when I was in high school. I’d helped out with his recovery, bringing groceries and mowing the lawn and shit. On one of those afternoons, he’d confessed what it felt like.
