About this listen
When sixteen-year-old John finds an incoherent young woman stumbling around a gas station late at night trying to get into cars with strangers, the advice from his older sister Sophie – the matriarch of his parentless family – is to open his car door. If the young woman gets in, bring her home.
She gets in.
The seventeen-year-old sex trafficking victim learns that with help from her new friends, the journey to a new life is possible, even if a little bumpy.
It is a heartwarming story that covers some of the challenges the girl faces in fitting back into “normal” life and overcoming the stigma of her past, including dating, getting back to school, earning an honest living and learning that family does not have to be blood related. The family that takes in the girl is comprised of three siblings who were orphaned three years earlier, and the oldest sibling’s husband. They are 20-year-old Sophie and her husband Ty, 16-year-old John, and 14-year old Emi. The Christian faith plays a big role in the girl’s recovery.

In this book he reveals for the first time a clear picture of reality based on the findings of consciousness researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the outcomes of a series of quantum mechanics experiments that have been verified in laboratories across the globe.

Good story, poor reading.
The Vertical Voice program did this book a disservice. The is no voic inflection as the characters have dialogue. Otherwise the story is fairly good.
