The End Begins by Sara Davison






When your beliefs are at war, does love stand a chance?


Bookstore owner Meryn O’Reilly and Army Captain Jesse Christensen are on opposite sides of a battle. After a series of terrorist attacks in 2053, martial law has been declared in Canada and the military has taken over. When a radical Christian group claims responsibility, Jesse and his platoon are sent to Meryn’s city to keep an eye on the Christians and ensure they are not stepping outside the confines of the law.
Fiery and quick-tempered, Meryn chafes under the curfew and other restrictions to her freedom. Jesse is equally amused, intrigued, and terrified by her spirit. She could find herself in prison if she shows defiance to the wrong soldier, namely Lieutenant Gallagher.
Jesse watches out for Meryn when possible, although she wants nothing to do with him. His worst fears are realized when she commits a crime he cannot protect her from. Now they both face an uncertain future and the very real threat of losing everything, including their lives. With time running out, Jesse works feverishly to convince the authorities to show leniency to Meryn. And to convince her that love can overcome any barrier that lies between them.

My Take~

This book was real on so many levels. As a Christ follower I see that here in America we aren't very far away from going through what was portrayed in this book. Sara did a great job of showing the conflict not only between the military officers who were to keep the Christians in line, but also the inner struggle that both the officer and Meryn dealt with. I loved the book and am looking forward to reading the next one. I can't recommend this book enough. It will encourage you and give you hope.
