A distraught mother is thrown into prison, and her four young children are swept into the system facing a world of betrayal, deceit, and social atrocities that no child should ever have to bear. It’s also the story of Private Investigator Missy Baker and Detective Craig Olson who work in a city filled with police corruption, prostitution, and murder—a city where money talks and crime is the norm. The two find themselves helping four little girls who have been mentally, physically, and emotionally betrayed. It is the story of the youngest girl, Becky, who tries to save her three siblings from an undeserved hell on earth and her inspiring journey to where God finds her and Becky finds herself. Broken Souls is the story of Becky, the woman-like child who never gave up.
I bought this book years ago at the Wilderness Disability Center from the author. Now that I finally read it, I wish I could have read it right there on the spot, just so I could have chatted with her about it. I liked the different story lines. It's an easy read, but it definitely made me stop and think a lot along the way.
A story based on true events. It was an interesting, brutal account of police corruption and child abuse based primarily in Denver. The author refers to Denver as Dawson which I found distracting since I live near the area. It waxed too religious for me occasionally.
