    my point of view: Justice Delivered by Patricia Bradley PLUS a PRINT ~*Giveaway*~

    October 10, 2019 in my point of view

    Carly Smith came by her trust issues honestly. A victim of sex trafficking, she’s been at the mercy of merciless men, ignored by law enforcement officers who should have helped her, and seemingly rejected by her family. She can’t even trust herself to do the right thing. Though she escaped her captors and is working hard on building a new life, the past continues to haunt her when she discovers that the man she couldn’t bring herself to report to police for fear of reliving her captivity is still out there, luring vulnerable girls under the guise of being a modeling agent.

    When her own niece is kidnapped, Carly must overcome her fears and come forward with the information she has before it’s too late. When that proves to be not enough, she’ll have to go after the perpetrators herself.

    Award-winning author Patricia Bradley keeps the suspense taut and the stakes high in this fast-paced story that will have readers turning pages long into the night.

    my point of view:

    I am doing it again, folks – bringing you a ‘new to me’ author today! This book had me hooked from the first page, and what a thriller! I was so caught up in the story, that I think I may have skipped a meal or two (which is really okay for me, lol) and may have been late going to bed a night or two as well, lol! I will be honest with you, I try not to read too much news (totally depressing most of the time, right?) and so I was completely blown away about how prevalent human trafficking is, so sad!

    Carly’s tenacity is amazing, she fights so hard to lead a ‘normal’ life and help young girls in trouble – just don’t ask her to help a girl who has been through what she has. It’s amazing how we can delude ourselves sometimes, and it takes so much courage to actually admit God is in control. Once we do, though, the world has a whole new meaning! I love a story that has a journey for the characters – especially a journey to find a relationship with God. This part of the story would have kept me entertained by itself….now let’s toss in the intrigue, oh my!

    The suspense of this novel truly had me guessing at who the bad guys were from the get go, and I changed my mind at least half a dozen times before I was finished! There were times I was literally holding my breath and wanted to shout at the characters, like I do at the TV during a football game – “No, don’t go there….or turn around, look behind you”! You are probably laughing at me now, but it’s true, lol! It truly had my heart pumping! I am so glad I had the opportunity read this amazing book, and now I want to share this recommendation with all of you!

      I would put my Momma’s picture in a pocket that I would wear daily. My Momma passed away in 2012 and I care her in my heart everywhere. I did not realize how much I depended on her. My family was very close when my Momma was living but since her passing my family has went separate ways. It is like she was the glue that keep us together. I miss our talks that we had. It is just the little things that seem so big. I try to spend all the time with my two daughters and two grandbabies now because in these world you never know when time will end and who will go first. I love all of my family and I hope I have told them and showed them.

      I would honestly have to think hard about who I would put in my locket. I have 5 kids, so I couldn’t single just one, and I don’t have one of the five of them together. Or I could put a picture of me and the love of my life in there, which is what a lot of people do. Or I would simply leave it as is…a beautiful locket with space to keep on filling. There are so many wonderful people that fill my heart I just can’t pick one!

      After your review and knowing it’s Christian, I would definitely want to read this one. Did you know that human trafficking is the number one crime in the world now? I think we all need to be aware of it, especially mothers with children! They go after any age though.
      Thank you Patricia for bringing our awareness of sex/human trafficking through your book.

      Oh, wow, this is easy!! I don’t actually have a locket; however, I bought a necklace for Mom after Daddy passed away that has their wedding picture on it. They can do it with any picture you take in, so I did their wedding picture. My cousin had one done for my aunt, and I decided her suggestion of having one done for Mom would be great, as it’ll be mine later on. A friend here had one made for herself of her parents before I did Mom’s. Quite a few ladies have seen Mom’s and want one of their own, and asked where to have them done, and a couple were thinking of giving them as gifts to loved ones.

I wouldn’t mind if you posted it on here, either, as I think it’s a great memento of loved ones. Another Aunt has one just of my Uncle, since he passed away. It’s something I treasure now, though I’ve never worn it, just Mom has, since it’s hers. However, since I got it for her, it will be mine later! Not too soon, I hope!!
