COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 6, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Kenton Foster, a child psychologist in Washington Court House, Ohio, is disturbed by the strange dreams he's been having and goes to see his own therapist, Dr. Steve Brennan, who has recently moved to the community. What do his dreams mean and what can he do to prevent them from becoming a reality? Find out in Manifesting Destiny, a gripping new novel by Saundra Crum Akers.
Kent believes his dreams reflect his potential to be a pedophile in the future, although he's never done anything like that in the past, nor is he attracted to children. Desperate to prevent such a possibility and protect his practice which he believes is critical to his destiny, he wants to enlist the help of his therapist, Dr. Steve Brennan. However, this would open up another set of problems because if he believes Foster poses a danger to another, Brennan has the duty to warn the third party. To complicate matters, two young girls, one whom is Kent's patient, end up missing. Initially, everyone thinks they've run away since both have been refusing to attend school and threatened to run away if forced to return. However, the mood of the town changes when one of the girls is found murdered.
Did Kenton Foster harm the girls? Even he has his doubts, especially when he considers his disturbing dreams. Or is his hunch right when he says that the answer to their disappearance lies somewhere in the school the girls refused to attend? Kent struggles to find the answer to these questions even as he tries to seek the truth and save the girl who is still missing. Can he rescue her before it is too late? Will he find the answers to Manifesting Destiny? Get a copy of this exhilarating read and find out!
