I stumbled upon this book one day while bored and looking for something to fill some down-time during the holidays, and I have to admit this book turned out to be a very pleasant surprise!  Without giving much of the story away, this main character she  herself being taken captive and held hostage by a mad man for quite some time.  And with a strong will to live, the memories of a life to return to, and through the love of her child gathers enough courage to escape from his clutches.

This book had me hooked by the first page, and I sat and read it non-stop until I was finished.  I literally couldn't put it down.  You find yourself tranformed into her world, her thoughts, her feelings, her fears.  Throughout the book you'll find yourself with provoking thoughts about the safety and security of your own family and how each of takes our freedom in life for granted, how at any moment, in the blink of an eye, a madman could change all of that for us.... Great Read!  Highly recommended!!

My review is going to be short and sweet as I would not want to give away anything more than is included in the synopsis. Im so glad I took the time to read this delightful story (really a novella length). Well-written and fast-paced, you will fall in love with unassuming Jocelyne Guerbette from the beginning of the book. Not only does the story contain well-developed characters and unexpected twists, it also encourages us to examine our values and consider what truly matters in life. Not a literary tour de force, this is a compelling and quick read and I could not put it down!

I never take the time to leave reviews...this book was worth the time.  Great job Ms. Ryan.  There was a lot of housework that needed to be done this weekend, and it didn't happen for me because this story had me from the first chapter to the end.  Well done! I enjoyed every character.

I enjoyed every minute of this book, and highly recommend it. The story of hardship, and perserverence to making a better life is well told by the author, and it is not lost on the reader that it is coming from personal knowledge and experience rather than just the imagination. The author also reminds us that we tend to take what we have for granted, and that some people made great sacrifices to have it. Good job!

Worth every minute reading. Just grabbed me by the throat, teared me up and pulled me in. Couldn' t put it down to do anything so less important than read the next sentence.

If you sit down with this book when you don't have plenty of reading time, you do so at your own peril.  This journey draws you in at once and won't let go.  Talk about a page-turner!  The writing is spot on, the lead character swipes your heart, and his story unfolds with amazing insight and sensitivity.  Expect much from this one, and you will get it.

This book was very difficult to put down! I loved reading every moment of it. If you enjoy reading books that involve judicial procedure, with an added tortured soul finds peace element, written from the perspective of several characters you will thoroughly enjoy this novel. The author does a great job of developing the characters in that you are acutely aware of the change in perspective throughout the book.

From the first page, you will be drawn to the characters and the story line.  This is a "hook you" book.  I would spend every spare minute of my time reading this fantastic book.  This is the first book I have read from this author, but it will not be my last.  The story has action, happiness, sorrow, romance and much, much more.  It is one book that is well worth the read.  Get it and enjoy the story and characters, you will not regret it.

This book is an excellent read!  You will not want to put it down and finish it in one sitting.  At least that was how it was for me!  I didn't stop reading til I finished it.  Yeah, I didn't get to bed til after 3am.  Again, a very good read that will make you think.  Thank you, David, for a great story!  I can't wait for the next book!
