Close to Home - Pamela Cook

Close to home - Coming Home. When Charlie is assigned to a possible Hendra Virus case the last thing she is expecting is that it is in the Home town she fled from so many years before. She hopes to get in and out without being noticed too much. She is in for a shock when she finds out where the outbreak is. The terror and fear all comes back to haunt her as she deals with violence towards herself and others. She is certainly not expecting to find herself attracted to a red hot park ranger either. Can coming home heal the past for her and her estranged family?
Pamela has done a fantastic job with this novel, it flows well together and takes a serious look at serious issues such as Virus outbreaks and the danger they can cause along with domestic violence, however she lightens the story with a romantic pairing and the positive ending to the story, leaving readers looking for more. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review your novel.
