Imagine getting stuck in a traffic jam on your way to work one morning. For most people this would just be an inconvenience. For Libby Klink, it's her worst nightmare. The Keeper begins with Libby stuck in gridlocked traffic on I-279 near Pittsburg. Having a long history of anxiety attacks, she is struggling to keep one at bay. Running late for work at a job she doesn't much care for, her boss is mad at her, she needs a restroom, then of all things, she sees a man WALKING done the road and knocking on car windows. She watches him wondering what in the world is going on, her anti-anxiety medication just taking effect. Until he reaches her car and taps on her window and says her name!?! That would be enough to rattle most any woman, imagine how hard it would be for one who suffers panic attacks.
Nick Geary is walking down I-279 looking for Libby. When he finds her he had the challenge of convincing her they need to talk. This will not be an easy task considering she's fairly certain she's never met him before. Will he manage to get her to trust him and help him with out her thinking he is completely crazy?
Nick and Libby team up to battle evil forces that threaten to take over the world. With help from Nick and his family, Libby is able to learn more about her past, her grandparents, and her mother. She learns to use her anxiety attacks to help herself instead of letting them control her. This is an amazing feat as anyone who has ever suffered even a minor anxiety attack will agree. Libby's transformation is encouraging for those who suffer similar issues. Such a great read.
I received and Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
