Award-winning author Vicki Hinze explores the incredible depth and frighteningly destructive nature of family relationships in this heart-pounding novel.

Doctor Lisa Harper is determined to rescue her mother, Annie, from an abusive husband and end the separation they’ve endured since Lisa was sixteen. If not for security expert Mark Taylor – Lisa’s devoted friend who’s loved her from afar for years – Lisa wouldn’t know if her mother was dead or alive. But her stepfather refuses to let Lisa interfere, so he hires NINA, a multinational organized crime group, to assault Annie, luring Lisa out into the open where she’s abducted. Lisa is one of several young women being trafficked to Mexico to be sold. Meanwhile, Mark and his former Shadow Warrior teammates mobilize and enlist the aid of all of their contacts to gain information as to Lisa’s location. To further complicate matters, Annie is in a coma and her recovery is uncertain. Will Lisa survive her ordeal and escape her fate at the hands of madman? Through all her trials and suffering, ultimately Lisa learns that God has not forgotten her or her mother – He has been with them all along the way. And now she sees that the skills she’d acquired in hardships endured are the very skills she needs to help her mother, Mark, and herself.
