Review: The Bracelet

My Review:
I received this book from the publisher Thanks Gallery!! Again this is one of my branch out books.  Not something I would normally read.  But this book was so good.  I love the cover its beautiful and classic. This story will grip you and not let you go until the end.  A book about a real issue we face today.  Human Trafficking is really something we have to worry about.  My mother had a brush with this when she was a teen.  She had applied for a babysitting job that would allow her to travel the world with the family.  And at 18 that seemed wonderful.  So she set up a time to meet.  When she got to the house it was swarming with police.  She later found out that they had been kidnapping young woman and sending them over seas. So read this book it will move you!

Book Description

November 6, 2012
Newly heartbroken and searching for purpose in her life, Abby Monroe is determined to make her mark as a UN worker in one of the world’s most unstable cities: Peshawar, Pakistan. But after witnessing the brutal murder of a woman thrown from a building, she is haunted by the memory of an intricate and sparkling bracelet that adorned the victim’s wrist.
At a local women’s shelter, Abby meets former sex slaves who have miraculously escaped their captors. As she gains the girls’ trust and documents their horrifying accounts of unspeakable pain and betrayal, she joins forces with a dashing New York Times reporter who believes he can incriminate the shadowy leader of the vicious human trafficking ring. Inspired by the women’s remarkable bravery—and the mysterious reappearance of the bracelet— the duo traces evidence that spreads from remote villages of South Asia to the most powerful corners of the West, risking their lives to offer a voice to the countless innocents in bondage.
