I really wanted to like this book. The theme of child trafficking in China contrasted with sexual assault in North America seemed full of potential and all proceeds from the book go to support charities against child trafficking. Unfortunately, there were some serious shortfalls with this book. First of all, this book needs an editor or even just a proofreader. There were so many mistakes! And that really bothers me. Also the three plots in the book (Lacy's issues, Thad Gannon love interest, child trafficking) didn't meld together as well as they could have. Some parts went into way too much detail and others not enough. A great concept for a book, but it needed some work.

If you can get past the lack of editing, to remove typos/grammatical errors and lack of punctuation, that made it confusing etc, this is a wonderful read. Just today, I finished the 3rd in the series - 'Lacy's Legacy' - and enjoyed it.
Not the greatest books ever, or anything, but a Christian read to look at how people cope/don't cope with what life has thrown their way. Things like rape and trafficking do happen, so seeing how people deal with it, even in fiction, is important.
I'm a mother of 5, so was not bored by the many touches of home life...

enjoyable

The lead character frustrated me but so realistic in reality. Sometimes authors make their characters have more personal insight than is possible. Not in this book. Enjoyed it, love the reason why she wrote it and will read the sequels

I liked this book. it had a good plot and deals with issues that need to be addressed. there are a few editing errors, and I felt the author could have done a little more to explain a few things earlier on, but I liked it. I feel it's worth reading

An Okay Book

I liked the book. There are multiple editing errors that I found confusing. I do like the author's support of organizations that help victims of human trafficking.
