My Thoughts

With Me in the Storm is written by Karen E. Ingle. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it will not be my last. The author has crafted a beautiful story of a lost and broken woman, who lost site of God, to find herself in the darkest of situations to a story of restoration and redemption. This book does deal with drug dealing and human trafficking. The author does a phenomenal job in shining a light to dark areas.

Maddie finds herself pregnant and scared. Her drug dealing boyfriend/pimp tells her to get rid of it or he will get rid of her and she is so scared and broken. She starts dialing numbers for assistance and gets Tricia the executive director of the Dos Almas Pregnancy Center. Tricia recognizes the fear in Maddie's voice and helps her make some connections to escape.

Zach is a scary dude. He is used to getting his way and will hurt women to do it. Maddie is terrified of him. He is a very dangerous drug dealer and human trafficker. When he finds Maddie gone - he manipulates her only friend to telling him where she is.

This story drew me in within the first few pages. I did not want to stop reading. I could relate to so much of this story. I was pregnant at a young age - while I was not a victim of trafficking I was not in a good situation. I actually stayed in a maternity home for unwed teen moms which was similar to Dos Almas. They were an amazing resource for those who chose life. So I felt Maddie's story.

The author has crafted a wonderful reminder that God forgiveness is for all. No matter what we have done in life, God will forgive. Thank you to the author, publisher and JustRead Publicity Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
