My Review: This book is heart wrenching! It pulls you into the story with the first page. It is extremely well written with great characters and a well developed plot. Be aware: this book deals with a very sensitive topic. Child prostitution and exploitation is very real. The author does an excellent job of making the reader aware of the seriousness of the topic and what these girls go through without being explicit. The topic was tastefully written into the story.

Kate Winslow was an excellent heroine. She is strong in her faith and knows what the Lord wants from her. She doesn't crumble in the face of adversity, it makes her stronger. She had her share of struggles and human characteristics, but that only endeared her to me more. Wyatt was another excellently developed character. I really enjoyed watching their romance blossom.

The message of the story was written in very well. Even when you feel like you're back's against the wall, God is there. With God, nothing is impossible. In God, there is hope.

Overall, this book was an excellent mix of suspense, romance, and hope. I cannot wait to read the next book!
