The Christmas before Kiera turned eighteen... A surprise snowstorm has Kiera's family and friends full of merriment, but the thought of homeless orphans weighs heavily in the back of her mind. But what can she do to help them? A short story.

Kiera is looking forward to her eighteenth birthday. The official end of school, a party with her best friend, and chocolate cake. A sudden military draft, no possible exemptions, had never crossed her mind. Kiera is terrified! Getting drafted would mean leaving her family, her little friend Jade—life as she knows it. A surprising offer from Brennan Stewart just might be the answer to her prayers, but an even worse trial leaves her with one question… If God truly loves her, why did this tragedy happen?

A game of hide-and-seek turns into an unexpected surprise and heart-pounding mission for Kiera and Jade. A Kiera sequel short story.
