About this eBook
The operator of a San Francisco safe house fights to give sex-trafficking survivors a second chance at life in this story of suspense, romance, and faith.
Raised in Thailand and brought to the United States against her will, quiet and intelligent Suda is hiding from a sex-trafficking ring and the man she believed was on her side. Claire, admired as bright and beautiful in high school, now hides her striking looks and uses her sharp wit as a protective shield. Determined to show Suda and Claire a path that allows for a life of their own, Simone, the safe house operator, offers them a haven and a healing path to the future.
Moving between the hills of Thailand and San Francisco, this incredible novel traces the journey of two trafficked women pursuing healing and hope. With strong female characters, an undercover cop, and a warmhearted Christian, Across the Deep is an unforgettable story about the resilience of the human spirit and enduring hope.
Perfect for fans of Girl in Pieces, The Sea of Lost Girls, Please See Us, and Then She Was Gone.
Praise for Across the Deep
“After you read the story of a safe house and the unlikely collaboration between Simone and Chai to save the life of a stolen young Thai girl, “human trafficking” will never be a concept for you again?but instead a personal affront to your very soul.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Two If by Sea
“As compassionate as it is compelling, Across the Deep plunges us into a brutal underworld of predatory abuse while uplifting us with the warmth of fresh-baked bread, lattes, and an unlikely sisterhood that brims with love, determination, and the joy of getting a second chance at life.” —Catherine Armsden, author of Dream House
“McGuinness takes us from a shipping container in Thailand to the docks of San Francisco, putting names and faces on the real and growing tragedy that is human trafficking. We fall hard for these characters who slide between victim, survivor, and hero. No one is safe. Yet, despite the darkness, this is a story of caring for others in a world of faith, hope, and love.” —Cynthia Newberry Martin, author of Tidal Flats
