Darling Dare Enduring: The Loss Of Her Own Daughter

She is a practical, no nonsense business owner in 1960s America. Many people in the city of Felicity, Oregon know her well as Darling Dare, a woman never hesitant to bump a few heads if needed to get people moving, keep them honest, or just stir up the hornet's nest to see what comes flying out. On the other hand, Darling is known for her cooking - especially her Felicity Famous chocolate sticks, which she sells out of the local grocery store.Darling and husband Tate have entered a literal spiritual firestorm, though the negative forces in their lives seem to be evasive and invisible. Spiritual forces are at work, and though Tate sees their lives looking better if they can only put the past behind them and strike forward anew, Darling wants to look backward on what they have lost and how they can get some of it back.Darling Dare, despite that she has done all she knows to do to start her family in Felicity, Oregon. Her husband Tate Dare and she have worked hard to pick out a house, fix it up for their future family, and invite their new family into their lives. A miscarriage of her first child, followed by the kidnapping and murder of their second child, a crime confessed to by serial killer Sam Steele, leaves them worried that they might be under a curse by God. Then, unexpectedly, comes Darling's third pregnancy. Though Darling does not know the sex of the child, she steps out in faith and names the child 'Joy'. She is excited; sure, that God will now show himself strong in her life and let her start her family. However, a man named Jack Johansen, a criminal involved in the business of kidnapping and selling children, suddenly appears in the small town of Felicity. Jack Johansen's appearance puts Darling Dare into pursuit mode once again after over two years of dealing with her kidnapping and death. Maybe Sam Steele is not the killer he claims to be. If Steele is not the criminal who kidnapped Esther, who is? The game is reset, and Darling Dare has one more chance to find her daughter, Esther, alive.
