Publisher's Synopsis
WHAT REVIEWERS SAY:
I thought the main topic of this book would be hard to stomach but it was handled effortlessly by the author. He has shed a blinding light on the travesty of child laundering and at the same time had me laughing with the characters and aching for the return of little Anna to her parents. Then he threw in a major plot twist that had me grinning like a lunatic. A fantastic read all around-THE SILENT SCREAMER BOOK BLOG
