THE BOOK
THE BLURB
Safe is the most dangerous feeling of all.
For as long as she can remember, Rose Galway has been a captive, controlled by
one man or another. To her, though, God is the one holding the keys, refusing
to set her free despite the desperate pleas she has sent heavenward.
Detective Laken Jones has known hardship too, including the daily trauma of
racism. Still, nothing he has gone through compares to what Rose has endured.
He wants nothing more than for her to experience hope and healing and maybe
even happiness in her life.
But first he has to find her.
Laken is willing to risk everything to set Rose free. And to help her find her
way to God. Even if that means letting go of her—and the future he envisions
for the two of them—forever.
TW: human trafficking, some violence

MY REVIEW
Like Starr in Every Star in the Sky, Rose is holding onto her faith by a thread. Still, like Starr, she was looking to God for her rescue. Trusting that He would make a way of escape.
Barricaded away and isolated, Rose endured. It was all she could do.
This story is so raw and rugged, with so many twists and, well, [SPOILER].
I will borrow from my earlier review of Every Star in the Sky,
I so appreciate Christian authors who are willing to write about the ugly side of life. Who show that bad things do, in fact, happen to good people. And that it is only the grace of Father God that sustains them (us) and sees them through. Ms. Davison reminds the reader that slavery is not limited to plantations in the South (of the U.S.) nor to a couple of hundred years. Rather, slavery has many forms, has existed from the beginning of time, and continues to the present day.
The author not only braves that front, but she offers the reader a positive means to help—to pray, even if we cannot do something tangible.
Ms. Davison writes such taut stories, such vile topics. Such profound truth. Her books are always page turners, urging the reader on to the end, nudging the reader to pray—if not for fictional characters, for the very real people trapped in very real circumstances.
