A Rush of Wings by Kristen Heizmann

Noelle St. Clair is running for her life. Fragamented images keep coming to her mind and causing her to have panic attacks. All she knows to do is to keep running. She is leaving behind a life of wealth and luxury in order to feel safe. Her running ends when she comes to a small tourist town in the Rocky Mountains. Looking for a place to stay, she comes to a ranch owned by Rick Spencer. The beauty and quietness of the area makes her want to stay there forever. If only the fragmented images would stop, she could really be safe and start a new life.

Noelle starts her new life being entertained, and wooed, by Rick's playboy brother, Morgan. She starts to paint again and even starts to sell some of her work. She also spends her time with the horses, riding the land, and really beginning to enjoy her new life. That is until her past begins to catch up with her. Who can she trust? Where should she go? All she wants is to be safe. How can she confront her past and save her life?

The author keeps you on pins and needles as she slowly gives you glimpses of Noelles past. While you might be able to piece parts of the story together and you think you have it all figured out, the author gives you another twist. Also, when you think you have discovered the truth about Noelle's past, you realize that Noelle is still putting together the pieces and you continue reading to see how she is going to figure things out. And the best part, with all the difficulties in Noelle's past, you watch as she begins to trust again. Not only in people, but in God.

My only warning is to make sure you have plenty to time to read this book in one sitting. It is so suspenful and good, you will not want to put it down!!
