WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
HEAVY TOPIC...BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. "This book was one that I couldn't put down. Once I started it I knew that it would be one of those that made me want to stay up and finish it. It did not disappoint..." CMH
The author did an amazing job at telling the character's story...only a few chapters in I am rooting for these two girls like never before. I rivaled at the characters strengths. It was a beautiful story of strength and endurance. I will remember it for a very long time." -Claire
A WELL-WRITTEN BOOK! "I knew after reading Innocent Journeys: Rose and Penny this book would be good. I never imagined how good though! ...I read Go Ask Alice at a way younger age than I probably should have, but it stayed with me and shaped my life as well as many others lives. I think this book will too. -dagaz98
"Julie tackles a difficult subject. Hard but necessary to face. She draws you in fully to the lives of two different victims, crosscut stories, but also manages to show you where angels show up. She gives hope in the midst of the trials, and the encouragement to press through." - Cheryl McKay (Screenwriter The Ultimate Gift and Co-Author, Never the Bride)
"Author did a marvelous job of showing the psychological conditioning by abductors towards their abductee. The step-by-step conditioning displayed in the abductor's behavior and actions, without ever having to explain it to the reader their action, is fantastic. I love the way she introduced and displayed her characters. She makes the reader identify and care for these girls, to the point of tears. A deeply moving book." -Richard B.
