April 06, 2003: This triptych of a romance marks yet another triumphant attempt by under-rated writer Kathryn Shay. Earnest and constantly moving, Trust In Me tells of the struggle of the rebellious Outlaw gang growing up in Glen Oaks after the group was disbanded and reunited a decade later. Much have occurred: Joe Murphy returns as a reformed husband and seeks forgiveness from ex-wife Annie who is traumatized by his past abuse. Linc who is now a pastor is afraid to marry Margo who swears anathema to God and his beliefs - an imprint left by her pious mother. Tucker Quaid, a retired NASCAR racer decides to mitigate his guilt of causing Beth her husband in a racing tournament by developing the industry in Glen Oaks. He faces the wrath of her son Ronny but gains unexpected solace and a chance of love in the widow. Under-rated Kathryn Shay sculpts her characters with emotional delicacy and packs compelling human drama to deliver an enriching story of love and its healing power.

March 21, 2003: It is rare when you find a story that meshes 6 peoples lives as seamlessly as does this one. The talks between Linc and his God have got to be amongst the funniest in print. I especially liked Joe and Annie's tale and would have liked that story longer or maybe Ms. Shaw will continue the story at a later date. While reading this book you are definately part of the story along with the characters. You can feel their pain, love and most espcially their indecisions. I felt right at home with them and rooted for them every step of the way.
