Such A Thing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685175573)

A neglected city park is the scene of three brutal murders that claimed the lives of an alcoholic mother and her two young adult daughters. Jimmy and Al Hill are the grandparents with whom the young women have lived since their early teens.

The lead detective assigned to the case has been intimately involved in the life of the murdered mother. Both he and a subordinate detective were students of Jimmy Hill in their fourth-grade Sunday school classes. They both feel an added urgency to solve the case.

The lives of the deceased are revealed through their own words, those of their grandparents, the remembrances of past and current loves, and the detectives working the case.

The funeral, the investigation, and the ultimate revelation regarding the murders are recounted by those most affected by these untimely deaths. The lives of everyone involved with the Hill family murders are forever changed by the unexpected response of the grieving grandparents. The good that comes from such a thing can only be attributed to God's goodness and the Holy Spirit's promptings being acted upon.

The faith of the Hills shines throughout their relationships with family, friends, and fellow church members. Their minister plays an essential role in the aftermath of this tragedy.

Love, hate, adoption, and rejection are all explored in this compelling story of human nature and godly faith.
