Amy Wallace

Amy Wallace writes Christian romantic suspense that joins criminal investigation with questions of grief, trust, and forgiveness. Ransomed Dreams opens the Defenders of Hope series and brings together Gracie Lang, who remains fixed on understanding a past tragedy, and FBI agent Steven Kessler, whose current case concerns a threatened diplomat's daughter. Their separate searches intersect as professional danger and private loss make hope difficult for either of them to accept. The 2007 Multnomah edition carries the fuller byline Amy N. Wallace. Its combination of investigation and faith reached the 2008 RITA finalist list for inspirational romance, and the series continued with Healing Promises and Enduring Justice. Ransomed Dreams establishes Wallace's interest in characters whose faith is tested through action rather than abstract discussion, using the investigation to force Gracie and Steven toward choices about justice, care, and the possibility of a future beyond fear.
