THE GENERAL’S PRINCESS by Caryn Hacker Buechel
This one’s a little different, because it has romantic/sexual abuse situations. It is not a Christian book, but I accepted the contract because it deals with human trafficking and our need to defeat it. The backstory is important to me: but I met the author through a friend, and the fact I speak Arabic was what clinched the deal. Seems my 40 years of study paid off.
Cara is almost fifty, and nearly penniless. She needs a fresh start and when a unique job falls in her lap, she moves to Saudi Arabia to work for the royal family, never dreaming the change would quickly spiral into a nightmare where she is alone and powerless, trapped in the crosshairs of a human trafficking ring.
The unlikely kidnapping of a young, American female triggers a risky military rescue with General Sam Kennedy leading the Special Forces team into Riyadh, ultimately throwing Sam into Cara’s world where she is enmeshed in the spinning wheels of this deadly rescue mission, managed from the White House Situation Room, and exploding in real time within the opulent Royal palace.
Unravel the threads of survival, courage, and unexpected love in this gripping tale of resilience against the odds.
