Kate Winslow, program director of Beacon of Hope in Dallas,
Texas, provides a refuge for young girls who are attempting
to escape from a prostitution ring. In attempting to help a
friend escape her pimp, 16 year old Rose, one of Kate's
wards, is captured and drugged by their former pimp, King,
who is also Rose's uncle by marriage. Beaten and kept in a
black and desolate prison for having escaped initially, Kate
desperately searches to find her ward before she turns up
dead.
A very young girl turns up dead and Kate is approached by
Texas Ranger, Wyatt Sheridan. Wyatt is in the Child Rescue
Task Force, dealing with child prostitution. A widower, he
has a 14 year old daughter who brings this problem to the
forefront for Wyatt and makes it a personal task. Working
together on the case ensures threats to Kate. Both Kate and
Wyatt realize after a while they have formed a deep feeling
for one another while working closely together. For revenge
on a bungled attempt to kidnap Wyatt's daughter for
prostitution and removed from the country, this ultimately
results in Kate's abduction instead. Knowing that Kate was
taken in the place of his daughter, Wyatt is devastated. All
he can think now as he frantically searches to find Kate is
that he has lost another love just when he has finally
accepted his wife's death and ready to move on.
The subject of child prostitution brings reality to a very
serious and true problem in our country. The characters are
dedicated and portrayed as loving and caring people risking
their lives to help others. I was completely drawn into this
story of deception and horror in the lives of children. I
found SAVING HOPE to be very well written and apparently
well researched for accurate facts. Margaret Daley has
captured my attention and makes it absolutely impossible to
put down until the very last page is turned! Completely
captivating!
