“Elizabeth Musser’s beautifully written novels are always unique and inspiring—and this is no exception. Christian novels don’t often feature characters who battle depression—or who are hit men! Yet Musser breathes life into her characters and makes you care. When I Close My Eyes will keep readers guessing and hoping until the very end. Thoroughly engaging!”
—Lynn Austin, author of Legacy of Mercy

Thank you, Elizabeth, for writing an honest book that will be a comfort to the afflicted and to those who love and long for them.”
