A Cry in the Dark
Book 5 of the Summerhill Secrets series
144 pages · First published 1996
Merry Hanson becomes involved in a frightening situation when someone in SummerHill needs help and the truth is difficult to uncover. Her desire to respond compassionately draws her beyond ordinary teenage concerns into a mystery with real consequences. Family, friends, and faith provide support, but Merry still has to decide when courage requires speaking or acting despite fear. Beverly Lewis blends gentle suspense with Christian YA coming-of-age themes in another SummerHill Secrets story about hearing a cry for help that others may overlook.
