One Among Us

A kidnapped girl is forced into human sex trafficking.

(The HOME STREET HOME SERIES is a collection of standalone novels.)

Eleven-year-old Maggie Clarke is abducted from her loving family and thrust into the indescribably horrific and largely unknown underworld of human sex trafficking. In captivity, Maggie's life turns into a nightmare most children couldn't imagine. When Maggie isn't being sold to clients, she focuses on caring for Seth, a young boy who was also abducted.

With the help of Detective Rae Harker, the Clarkes' frantically search for their daughter. Haunted by his own demons, Detective Harker vows to find Maggie--dead or alive.

Years after Maggie is abducted, a strange man approaches her with a dangerous proposition and she risks everything to break free of the network of unsavory characters that control her. Not even she can know how far she will go to get even with the people who ruined her life.

An unforgettable story of courage and survival, One Among Us serves as an eye-opening reminder that horrible things can happen to anyone--it's how people deal with their circumstances that matters.
