Four-year-old Justine has been lost to the world and with her an ability feared by many. But the balance of power has been shifting for years, and Justine may be able to tip those scales for good...if someone can find her in a pitiless place of sorrow and pain.
When Marie Evans meets a strange man on a deserted road and a body is found mutilated in the desert, a deep resentment teetering on the edge of release is about to explode. Someone, somewhere has drawn a line in the sand, and when Harlan Reese, Marie's ex-lover, enters a forest in central Arizona looking for his daughter, that line will be crossed.
In a world between Heaven and Hell, the past becomes the present as Harlan and Marie find each other once again. Their journey across an unforgiving land to find a way home with Justine by their side will be wrought with both pain and triumph.
Life is, after all, A Difficult Mirror.

Thank you to Benjamin Wretlind for sharing his father's wise and important words.
Being a first time reader of Wretlind's work I was unsure of what to expect but I must be honest what a treat!
Justine , so young, scared, alone and trapped in a strange place ! You can actually feel her fear ,anxiety and desperation !
Bad memories seem to rule and they smother you ! It reminds me of a scene from "The field of dreams" where the souls are screaming and crying in what's supposed to be hell!
When you done reading A Difficult Mirror you left questioning yourself what would you do in world or reality of your own worst decisions!? A rather scary and sobering thought.....
A Difficult Mirror is filled with suspense, mystery and actually something of everything to satisfy all genres.
