Kiwi Magazine Review:
Although this is a work of fiction, this book reads like a true account of an ambassador’s daughter’s kidnapping, escape and safe return to her family. Race with Lucy as she flees her captors and revel in the local villagers in Ethiopia who care for her as she returns to her family. This book is impossible to put down.
