Publisher's Synopsis
On December 29, 2002, in the midst of a sumptuous dinner in their beach home, Kristine's family was approached by a rogue military group which coaxed her husband away. Machine gun fire ensued, and within minutes her husband was abducted. The days that followed turned her soccer mom life into a quagmire of hostage negotiations and military operations. Kristine discovered she was being followed daily by kidnappers who were determined to "up-the-ante" and take one of her children. Those same villains called demanding ransoms and described the ways they intended to hurt or kill her husband unless their demands were met. She faced the mastermind behind the kidnapping in order to negotiate an end-game scenario to get her husband back alive. Each day brought new choices on how to save her husband, how far could she go to get him back? Her resolve to lead her three young daughters safely through the true to life nightmare equipped her with the strength to carry them through the situation. False friends took the opportunity to swindle her, Machiavellian business partners took advantage of her weakest hours and fiendish kidnappers made every effort to take everything away. Against all odds she brought her young girls to a safe harbour and a new life in Australia. This is their story.
