Ty Elliot returns to his home after an absence of two years, knowing full well the danger which threatens him each hour he lingers in the old cabin in the mountains. But with his father on his death bed and his younger sister exhausted, Ty knows he must remain for a time at least. When his father makes a strange request and begs his returned son to “find her,” Ty promises but is bewildered. Who is he to find? How can he set about the task of honoring his word? The only clues the dying man can give his son are a broken locket, a small photograph of a woman and a few last whispered instructions; “Take care of your sisters.” In confusion, Ty turns to his father’s childhood friend, Carson, for advice. Would the older man be able to help Ty and his sister, Sally? How much time did Ty have at the cabin before ‘they’ found out?

Testimonials
“Rebekah knows her characters and has made good friends with them and causes the reader to do the same. Readers find themselves becoming a part of the story, feeling with the characters, seeing the same surroundings, riding right along side. It is another of Rebekah’s stories that is a family read and so very hard to put aside. The Unexpected Request is more than worth reading; it is a must read for how God can change lives and encourage doing what is right through any circumstances.”
~Mrs. Noran, A Missouri Homeschool Mom
