Written at readers&#8217; requests for backstory on Lacey and Jim Micah, this novella gives a brief history of their earlier relationship and misunderstandings and choices that led to their separation. I read the <em>Team Hope<\/em> series several years ago and honestly do not remember very much about it except that I enjoyed it. I have read so many books since then that they sometimes get confused in my mind. After reading &#8220;Waiting for Dawn&#8221; I am wanting to reread &#8220;Flee the Night&#8221;. If only I had the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Waiting for Dawn&#8221; is such a short story that I hesitate to divulge anything at all about the plot. It does involve what you might call a love triangle that includes Lacey Galloway, Jim Micah, and his best friend John Montgomery. A hostage situation culminates in a daring desert rescue. And most of all, one misunderstanding after another that result in what I considered to be a major wrong choice.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that those who requested the backstory of &#8220;Flee the Night&#8221; are satisfied with Warren&#8217;s novella. Like I stated earlier, it inspires me to go back and read &#8220;Flee the Night&#8221; again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" alt=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by Tyndale House Publishers and NetGalley.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/WaitingFor-Dawn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9546\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"Waiting For Dawn\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/WaitingFor-Dawn.jpg\" width=\"162\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/WaitingFor-Dawn.jpg 162w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/WaitingFor-Dawn-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/WaitingFor-Dawn-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/a>In this prequel to <em>Flee the Night<\/em>\u2014the first book in Susan May Warren\u2019s critically acclaimed Team Hope series\u2014Lacey Galloway leads a rather predictable life as a contractor for the Department of Defense.
