Publisher's summary

Every life has a turning point where one choice changes everything. Once that line is crossed, there's no going back. J.D. Jessup finds his line in the desert near Tucson, as far from his home as the moon. He’s traded his guitar and the songs in his head for the daily grind of an organic farm - a mind-numbing existence that dulls the pain of his memories. His boss has one rule: if J. D. sees an illegal, call Border Patrol. But when an early morning ride along the fence line leads him to Maria, a beautiful young woman near death, J. D.’s heart pushes him toward another choice.

Longing to atone for the mistakes that drove him to the desert, J. D. hides her and unleashes a chain of deadly events he could never have imagined. Soon the two are running from a killer and struggling to stay alive. As the secrets that haunt him collide with Maria’s past, J. D. realizes that saving her may be the only way to save himself.

Part thrill ride, part love story, Borders of the Heart is a tender yet gripping odyssey of hope.

Too dark and violent for me.

I enjoyed another of Chris fabry books, so I tried this one. I may still try one other before giving up, but this was much darker and more violent than I expected, based on the other.

I love this book.

I'm looking forward to reading more from Chris Fabry. This was a well written book full of thought in helping people to reconsider their views on who should be helped and who shouldn't.

Chris Fabry

I know Chris Fabry from his time on Focus on the Family and Adventures in Oddessy. That alone should tell you a little about his world view. I will look for more of his books. Highly recommend!

I was on the edge over and over with this book. Lots of action and not knowing what was going to happen next.

Good Christian Fiction

This was s case where the narrator reading his own story worked. Fabry is very real and non-preachy. A timely story of drug cartels, border issues and the good people in the middle of it all.

true to real heartfelt feelings; great ending

This is a book that satisfies the longing for life, justice, righteousness while it opens doors to the impossible.

How thick is the border around your heart?

Chris Fabry, as always, delivers not only a stellar performance of writing, but also of reading in a way that helps us feel like we are there in the scene, inhaling the hot dust of the desert, weeping with sorrow at the injustices and rejoicing with new life. Well done!
