Stay My Hand
In 1976, eight year old Bridget Feeney disappeared from her home.
In 2016, she returned. Still eight years old.
Where has she been all this time? Why hasn't she aged? And why do people around her start taking their own lives?
These are the questions that her Uncle, Tony, a police officer Sabrina Newman, Bridget's foster parents Lisa and Alan Parkinson and a Catholic priest Father Hennessy try to answer.
Could it really be the case that Bridget has been sent back to cleanse the earth so that Creation could start again?
Must an eight year old girl die in order to save humanity?
Could nobody stay their hand?

If you're looking for a British Stephen King, look no further.
Beginning with every parent's nightmare-- the disappearance of a child -- this story takes the reader in unexpected and thought-provoking directions. The characters are well-developed and behave convincingly, the writing is economical and chilling, and the story is imaginative and disturbing.

STAY MY HAND
By Terry Kerr
"I am becoming an avid fan of author Terry Kerr. First, he got me with "An Unquiet Past," then he got me again with, "Lost in the Fog." Okay ... Now he has outdone himself with, STAY MY HAND. It's incredible! I would read until my eyes got so blurry it made my brain fog up. This great story about a little girl who disappeared at the age of eight and returned decades later not a day older is totally intriguing. It is also terrifying, and the terror ramps up as more and more people in her circle commit suicide. As always, Terry Kerr provides the reader with great character development, lots of surprises, almost poetic descriptions of the dead and dying, and just enough turns along the way to keep the reader guessing. I needed a stiff drink after finishing this book. I'm giving it 5 glorious stars. This is a MUST READ for fans of supernatural suspense!" Trust me, trust me, TRUST ME... BUY THIS BOOK!
(Sorry, no book cover available yet. Dang it.)
