A young girl is raped by her priest and gives birth to a daughter, Maya, whom she puts up for adoption to give her a better chance for a better life. But Maya's mother cannot heal the baby hole in her heart. When she finally escapes an abusive relationship after 20 years, she searches for Maya. Both mother and daughter, unknown to each other, find themselves in the Maya territory of Mexico, and are followed by a stalker. Will mother and daughter ever reconnect?
She remembers the assault as if it was yesterday. Not 24 years ago. When she was 16. Father Martin Garcia looked beatific, as if newly returned from a visit to the Holy Shrine. His tousled coal-black hair curled around his head like a choir boy. His dark brown eyes shone like holy lanterns. His smooth skin reminded her of milk chocolate. But his breath stank of alcohol.
Michael B. Davie, Author of The Late Man wrote:"Rath captures the reader with quick, clever and cunning suspense, clever plot twists, and delicious irony. A master of the craft."
"MJ escapes a controlling abuser and embarks on a search for Maya, the daughter she gave up for adoption after being raped in her teens. Her search is filled with danger as her abuser hunts after her with murder on his mind. Rath has created a suspenseful, gripping thriller that delves deeply into the hunted-haunted psyche."
