Author: Sara Davison
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release date: March 2, 2022
“You’re safe here, Starr.”
How many times has Detective Cole Blacksky said that to her since helping her escape the life she’d been forced into eight years earlier?
Starr desperately wants to believe him, but she knows Brady Erickson, her former captor, too well. Although Cole has promised her protective custody on his family’s remote ranch, no place on earth is safe enough. Brady will stop at nothing to permanently silence her before she ever reaches the witness stand.
And he is powerful enough to do it.
If Starr wants to help Brady’s other victims, she has no choice but to put herself in God’s hands. And Cole’s. But the longer she and Cole stay hidden, the more her life is at risk.
And her heart.

More from Sara
A few years ago, I attended a women’s conference in the Canadian capital city of Ottawa. The theme of the conference was human trafficking, which had always seemed to me something that happened in other countries of the world. The speaker informed us that, in fact, sex trafficking is very much an issue in Canada. In fact, she went on to say that if we were staying in a hotel that night, she could pretty much guarantee that somewhere in the building a young girl would be trafficked against her will while we slept peacefully in our beds.
That fact—and the way my subsequent research has borne up that truth—shocked, horrified, and deeply impacted me. And so, Every Star in the Sky was born. This romantic suspense novel puts a face and name and story to the scourge of human trafficking. While the fictional tale of one woman’s experiences, it represents the reality of countless women and shows the devastating toll this evil takes, not only on those in captivity, but on those who love them and desire to see them restored to freedom and eventually physical, mental, and emotional healing.
Every Star in the Sky is a love story. Not only between a woman rescued from trafficking and the man who risked everything to save her, but between God and every human being created in his image victimized by this unspeakable practice. The theme of this series, which I hope and pray comes across clearly to every reader, is that we are never alone. God sees what we are going through. He never leaves or forsakes us. He knows the name of every star in the sky, and he knows us deeply and intimately.
As the main character in the story reflects: “And if you know every star by name, you must know every one of us by name.” When no one around her, not even friends like Ruby, knew her real name, she had clung to the truth that God knew it, that it was engraved on the palm of his hand. Without that knowledge, she would have been afraid her name might be lost, since she was so determined not to let her true one slip out to Brady that even in her own mind she had become Starr. But God had kept her name in trust for her until Cole freed her, and now God had given it to her again. She hadn’t planned to tell it to Cole tonight, but something had nudged her to. Had assured her it was safe. That he was safe.
While the problem of human trafficking may seem overwhelming, prayer is our most powerful weapon against the forces of darkness. Pray for all those held in captivity, that they would experience God’s love and presence with them, that they would find freedom, and that all who participate in this evil would one day be brought to justice.
My Thoughts
Every Star in the Sky is written by Sara Davison. This author is newer to me. I have read two other books that she has written. One of the things that I love about this author is the fact she takes broken, taboo, usually off limit subjects and turns them to God’s Glory.
This book covers the horror of human trafficking. This is something that breaks my heart. The author brings the horror that victims face without being graphic.
In this story we see a woman who has escaped her captor. She goes by Starr. She knows that she has to be brave in order to help others that are not free yet. Even if that means hiding on a remote ranch of Detective Cole Blacksky. He has to earn her trust at first. But she knows she needs to stay alive in order to help the others she left behind.
Cole isn’t sure he can keep his cover a secret. He’s not sure if he’s cut out to be be a John to convince Starr to leave. She was very broken. He knows he has to succeed.
Seeing everything come together and move forward was an adrenaline rush in it self. You find yourself worried that Starr will be found and punished. This book is full of suspense and adrenaline. I couldn’t turn pages fast enough.
This book does deal with the implied intimacy that goes into trafficking. It’s not graphic. It also covers the abuse that the girls deal with. Again, it’s handled with Grace. The lesson of trusting God fully is woven in seamlessly. I will absolutely read everything that this author writes.
I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit blogging program, all thoughts are my own.
