by Christine Merser (Author), Carol Rea (Author), Carol Rea (Illustrator)

"Grisham/Patterson style novel, but with a female lead. Justine made me feel personally empowered just through following her journey on the page."

-JoAnn Cox, Writer and Director of Operations, Women in Film New England

Set in the opulent world of the Hamptons and Palm Beach, Justine, a wealthy divorcee, finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and emotional turmoil. Her life of luxury is interrupted when she becomes entangled in a deeply personal quest for justice.

Among her circle of wealthy friends is Robert Bradbury, a mega millionaire who has spent the last two decades desperately searching for his daughter, Caroline, who was tragically trafficked years ago. Determined to bring her home, Robert has assembled a team of former CIA agents to aid in his relentless pursuit.

When the long-awaited breakthrough finally comes and the investigators uncover a lead on Caroline's whereabouts, Robert approaches Justine with a bold and risky proposition. He asks her to assume the identity of the woman responsible for trafficking his daughter, believing this undercover plan is the key to reunite with Caroline. Reluctantly, Justine agrees, propelled by her empathy and the chance to make a difference.

As the plot unfolds, a complex connection emerges between the three women: the trafficked daughter, Justine, and the woman who caused unimaginable pain. As they delve into the depths of their intertwined lives, they uncover unexpected truths and challenge conventional notions of what it means to be saved.
