About the Book:

When fifteen-year-old Lance Covington finds an abandoned baby in the backseat of a car, he knows she’s the newborn daughter of a meth addict he’s been trying to help. But when police arrest him for kidnapping, Lance is thrust into a criminal world of baby trafficking and drug abuse. His mother, Barbara, looks for help from Kent Harlan—the man whom she secretly, reluctantly loves and who once helped rescue her daughter from a mess of her own. Kent flies to her aid and begins the impossible work of getting Lance out of trouble, protecting a baby who has no home, and finding help for a teenage mother hiding behind her lies. In this latest novel of suspense and family loyalty, bestselling author Terri Blackstock offers a harrowing look at drug addiction, human trafficking, and the devastating choices that can change lives forever.







My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Emily is on the road to recovery and about to be released form rehab. Lance is trying to help a friend and gets sucked into a very dangerous situation. This book shows the dangerous effects of drugs and the pull they have on a person. Jordan wants to do the right thing for the her baby, but her drug addiction is strong and struggles quite a bit. I liked that Lance wanted to help but I was scared for him being pulled into this dangerous situation. I liked that part of this was told through Emily's point of view as this allowed me to get better connected with her and see the changes she is trying to make even through her struggles. The world of drugs is a scary place. I think the decision Barbara makes at the end was the right one for the family.
