Charlotte was abducted as a 16 year old girl together with her twin sister. When the kidnappers offered to release one of them, Charlotte literally kicked her sister out of the van. Charlotte then went on to suffer four long years in the hands of the kidnappers until her rescue just a few miles from her home.
The book starts with her voice relating events at the hospital just after her rescue, and then abruptly switches many years later to focus on the sale of a pile of extremely valuable coins that Charlotte apparently inherited from her wealthy grandfather. This takes up nearly half of the book.
Bryce Bishop was the one chosen to buy the coins. He is a kind, godly man who goes on to pursue Charlotte sensitively and gently, knowing her painful background.
The story unfolds rather slowly, revealing bits and pieces at a time but has enough to keep you reading till the end.
I probably would have given this title more stars if it didn't have so much about coins. I couldn't drum up enough interest in numismatics and just wanted to get to the main story about the kidnapping and of course about the romance between the two main characters.
Having said that, I still think Dee Henderson is a fantastic writer. We have many of her books in our church library and they are quite popular among our church members.
I was given a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
