Marina experienced an inhumane ordeal. Weak, hungry, thirsty and desperate, she had tried to escape. Was it now all in vain? Marina could no longer flee or barely move. Little did she know her Savior would be an autistic man.
This is a remarkable tale involving the horrors of human trafficking and the innocent heroics of an autistic man. It, also, conveys a few of the trials and blessings of a parent who has a "special needs" child. In addition to the the challenges, this parent is a single parent.
The characters are well. defined and some are very endearing. This action-packed, suspenseful story, portrays the good and evil of mankind.
The scenes are easily visualized and are often quite graphic.There were a couple occasions when the writing seemed slightly repetitive and dragged.
I recommend this book to an older YA or Adult audience as it addresses human trafficking and has some strong language and sexual situations in it. However, it is a definite, increasing problem the public should not avoid and ignore.
I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating.
This book was gifted me with no requirement of a positive review. This is my honest review. ( )
