Fascinating, interesting and shocking story. It's worth reading. Carmel is traumatized by her kidnapping. She was kidnapped by a religious sect when she was 8 years old. They held her for 5 years. Why? She mentions a pastor, or rather a preacher, who named her after another girl. Will she be able to live normally? A very emotional story. Carmel wasn't the only one kidnapped. What happened to the other girls? Will her life still be in danger? The second character is Beth. She is Carmel's mother. She, too, has been traumatized. Someone has kidnapped her beloved daughter. After finding her miraculously, she experiences drama every day. He's obsessed. She checks if her daughter is there. Carmel doesn't always like it. Carmel has a pet rat named Alan. Her mother is not happy about this. Will both heroes learn to live normally? Will they always be afraid? Will they work through the trauma together? There is another heroine, Mercy. You can read more about it in "The lost girls". You don't read this book, you flow through it. In this story, we move in the years 1999, 2000, 2013 and 2014. The book often deals with issues related to God. The ending is shocking. I'm impressed. Good plot, good action and original characters make this book impossible to put down. Congratulations to the author of a good story.
