‘Til Death and Beyond

Death strikes on the banks of a small, deserted stream in the aftermath of a car accident. As he dies, Karl promises that Dori will be his for always and eternity even though he is dying. As if she hasn’t had enough of his controlling and domineering ways during their twelve years of married, his last words to her are almost a threat...

Dori rebuilds her life in the wake of Karl’s death, and soldiers on for her young daughter, Jessie. On a visit back to her aunt’s home she comes into contact with the one person she’d hoped to avoid - Mitch Kramer. Dori must keep Jessie away from Mitch before he discovers her secret. There is danger here, and it comes from all sides as Dori struggles to protect what is hers. Could Karl be somehow able to keep his deathbed promise?
