Trapped: The Suspicious Case of Zoë Sapp

by Christine Racheal

Suicides amongst adolescents and young adults are at an all-time high. However, when facts point to foul play the black community suspects that random deaths are unjustly passed off as suicides. “Gena”, a fiery journalist, sets out to uncover the truth, and is compelled to understand the driving force behind the death of Zoë Sapp, a college senior. Trapped contains several interviews with those closely connected to Zoë, and offers detailed accounts of the once vibrant, young woman. Gena’s ruthless probing unveils the adversity of Zoë’s past—from witnessing her mother’s death and spending five years in a crack house, to her spiritual awakening, which revitalized her and gave her life meaning. Did Zoë fully recover from the hardships of her past, or did her heightened consciousness only temporarily drown out her previous suffering? Were first responders wrong? Was Zoë a victim of foul play, or a fatal accident? And would ignoring the truth mean turning a blind eye to the possibility of more racial injustice? Follow the investigative journey to discover the details of Zoë’s death, the buried chaos of her past, and a failed quest to be near the one she loved most. Decide for yourself.

Very well written!

I enjoyed how easy this book read. It was a sad story that I wanted to end on a high note. It just kept getting worse, but I could not put it down. It is a great read!!
