MAKE AND RUN" ENCHILADA CASSEROLE  
Setting the Scene:  
Whitney Paige is worried sick about Morgan’s disappearance, although everyone  
who knew her sister swears that Morgan had probably just decided to go help someone in  
need. Morgan’s heart shadow, those who know her best explain, is gold, which means  
that she finds peace in her faith, and joy in helping other, which always keeps her busy.  
What better meal to cook and have on hand for emergencies than Morgan’s“Make and  
Run” Enchilada Casserole, perfect for a fast, hearty supper for the hungry, or for an easily  
reheated dinner after a hard day’s work? Make this casserole ahead of time, then sit down  
and enjoy another twist or turn inHEART SHADOWS.  
Excerpt from Heart Shadows:  
I hurried through the dark cool house to the front door and opened it. The porch  
was empty. No one was in sight. I stepped out onto the front porch. My sandaled foot  
touched something soft and furry. I looked down and stifled a scream. A dead cat lay on  
the porch. A note fastened to its orange fur with tape read, “GO HOME. FORGET  
YOUR SISTER. YOU ARE NOT SAFE HERE.”  
The ugly gray house lurched in front of my eyes. The floor seemed to roll up  
under my feet, pitching me at the puke-pink trim. I staggered inside, fighting waves of  
shock and nausea. I swayed into the hall, dropping leadenly into a chair next to the  
phone. Grace’s efficiency was apparent. A list of emergency numbers perched on the  
receiver. My trembling fingers managed to make the connection at the Sheriff’s  
Department. Dwight Wilson promised to be right over.  
Crunching gravel announced Wilson’s arrival. I struggled to my feet and trudged  
to the door. Then I gasped. The cat was gone.
