    About this ebook

    Mykal Rowe has just lost his twin sister.
    Karson Christiansen has just lost the woman of his dreams.
    Scott Jacobs has just lost one of his closest friends.
    Kassandrah Rowe has just lost her life, a life that touched so many people around her.

    Now, the three men closest to her have to fight their way through a sea of guilt and anger, hatred and abandonment. The world continues to go on around them, but for Mykal, Karson, and Scott, their world seems to be frozen in that terrible moment and neither of them is able to escape.
    Mykal is stuck in a pool of hatred toward Scott for hitting Kassi with his car.
    Karson is drowning in guilt for making her slip into the street.
    Scott feels like he has just found God, only to have Him abandon Scott after killing his closest friend.
    Mykal is blinded by anger, while is best friend retreats into a state of bitter self-hate.
    When Scott’s self-destructive past finds him questioning God from the railing of a bridge, it will take a miracle for the three men to hold on to everything Kassi lived for.

      Acknowledgements

      First, I would like to thank the Author and Finisher of my faith for everything. Without Him, I would be nothing.

      I would like to thank my Aunt Janet and cousin Elizabeth, who cried the first time I read the first draft to them. I hope this version makes you cry even more!

      Thank you to my friends and family who have stood by me through everything.

      Thank you to Rob Grable, my author friend and inspiration who has helped me so much with my writing career. I hope I leave you speechless…again.

      Finally, thank you to KK, my lovely sister-friend, who has been here to critique me ever since she read the first depressing word I ever wrote and has been by my side ever since.

      I love you all!

      Chapter One

      Karson gently placed the bouquet of lilies on the freshly covered grave and knelt down beside it, tears in his eyes. With a trembling hand, he reached up and fingered the engraved lettering on the headstone.

      Kassandrah Angel Rowe

      October 24th, 1988 – December 19th, 2009

      Loving Daughter, Sister, and Friend

      "Fly away home, our little Angel

      You will always be in our hearts, Kassi.

      Always and Forever."

      Always and forever. That was his idea.

      Oh, Kassi. I’m so sorry, he whispered, finally breaking down. He rested his forehead on the cool headstone and sobbed.

      It was Christmas Eve and this would be the first time in a long time that he would spend Christmas without Kassandrah. Karson and Kassi had known each other ever since they were little and when he got older, about fifteen, he was not shy to admit that he had a huge crush on her. He was surprised when she admitted she liked him, too. However, she wasn’t allowed to date until she was sixteen, since she was only fourteen at the time. So, a little over five years ago, on her sixteenth birthday, Karson took Kassi out on her first official date. They went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant, which was Kassandrah’s favorite, and then they went for a walk on the beach behind Kassi’s house. They stood barefoot on the shore and watched the shooting stars rain down from the sky.

      Karson, look! They’re so beautiful! she said, gripping his arm.

      They are, aren’t they? Quick! Make a wish, before they all go away!

      She closed her eyes and Karson leaned over and gently placed a kiss
