Description
Where do you run when your world implodes?
“Mom?” Ashley’s shakes can be heard in that single, whispery word. “Mom, what happened?”
I take a breath, unable to turn my head. Unable to move at all. “I don’t know, Ash.” But somehow I do know, beneath skin chilled by the breath of demons, that whatever just happened will change everything.
It was Josie’s hands on the wheel, her foot on the pedal. Her fault. Now, sweet, beautiful Carmelita will never see her fifth birthday.
Where do you run when your world implodes and you can’t even function as a mom? Josie leaves her Chicago suburban home to stay with a cousin in Key West, unaware her journey is guided by an unseen hand. Unaware that a trailer park pastor, a battered horse, a pregnant teen, and a mysterious beachcomber might just set her on the path toward an inconceivable hope and redemption.

The reality that a split second could turn one’s life upside down has our heroine, Josie, reeling with guilt.
In Surviving Carmelita author Susan Miura provides her reader with a paradise-like adventure on the picturesque shores of Key West, Florida. However, the reader soon learns that our heroine cannot escape her conscience.
Susan Miura’s characters jostle our minds and emotions into a kaleidoscope of true-life trials, human flaws, and Christian compassion.
I often asked myself, what would I have done in a situation like Josie’s?
