Linda McClung Explores Faith, Redemption, and Hope in “Seven Minutes Into Darkness”

Author Linda McClung delivers a compelling story of loss, faith, and transformation in her novel “Seven Minutes Into Darkness.” The book follows one man’s journey from success to despair and reveals how hope can emerge even in the darkest circumstances.


Mick Carter stands on the brink of a promising career in the vocal music world when his life abruptly unravels. After authorities arrest, try, and convict him for sexual assault, he awakens to a reality he never imagined. Stripped of his future and overwhelmed by questions about God’s purpose, Mick enters prison with little hope and no clear direction.


Inside the razor wire, Mick forms an unexpected friendship with his cellmate and begins to see God at work among those society has forgotten. As he learns to trust his faith, he discovers that redemption can exist even behind prison walls. His growing influence within the prison becomes undeniable when he saves the warden’s life. Through these experiences, Mick begins to understand the power of faith and the impact one life can have on others.


Seven Minutes Into Darkness examines forgiveness, spiritual growth, and the strength it takes to trust God when answers feel out of reach. The story challenges readers to consider how purpose can emerge from pain and how faith can reshape even the most broken paths.


“Seven Minutes Into Darkness” is now available on Amazon.
