Women's Fiction

A moving and timely novel about human trafficking—from the author of the acclaimed debut Lipstick in Afganistan.

Boston nurse Abby Monroe and New York Times reporter Nick Sinclair find themselves entrenched in the middle of a human trafficking ring overseas.When Abby realizes she may have witnessed the murder of a Pakistani woman by a high- ranking official, she and Nick must break the story before she becomes the next casualty.

A highly emotional and powerful story, The Bracelet expertly navigates readers through the rich and complex Middle Eastern cultural landscape and is an absorbing and satisfying read.

Re: The Bracelet

We need more writers like you out there - not only the observant ones, which is so important, but to tell the stories of other Nationalities of people who are oppressed, or in general whose lives are different than ours for whatever reason. Theirs could be hampered by the Government, or they could just live differently because of their surroundings or due to their way of life in general, but if someone isn't observant enough to tell their story, the rest of the world never knows about it. You've gone a little more in depth about the women of Afghanistan, and now we have a closer look. It's a start for others to learn beyond what they learned in the classroom, and that's a benefit to anyone who picks up your book and reads it. I plan on reading it, and I'm sure I'll share the information I've learned with others. Thank you for what you do.

Thank you for your post, Roberta Gately. And thank you even more for giving a voice to women who have none. Good luck with the release of "The Bracelet".

Evocative. Reminds me of a time in a short story/poetry class thawt we were each give a paper bag with an object in it. Min was a button and I had to incorporate that in a piced of writing. It seems to be easier to write when you can look at something concrete instead of reaching around for the wisps and making them appear to be real.

Well done on both your work and your writing, you deserve to succeed. Keep on being a voice for women.

I love inspirational stories. We can all relate to these stories. These stories have a way of uplifting my spirit when I'm finished reading the book.
