The Bondage of Innocents: A Novel

Time is ticking ... Can a lonely sixteen-year-old girl escape the clutches of human traffickers before she’s sold off to the highest bidder?

When Lindy Montgomery’s mother dies, she’s left without friends or companionship until she meets a mysterious young woman in a sandwich shop who teaches her how to make herself more alluring to the opposite sex.

Lindy’s so-called boyfriend takes her on a weekend trip under the guise of celebrating his birthday. The real reason for the trip turns out to be much more sinister. He drops her off at a hunting preserve, where she and other young girls are to be sold into sex slavery.

Nearby, the citizens of a small Mississippi town are oblivious to the evil in their midst. A favorite son has returned to town after becoming wealthy as a tech owner and investor. Concerned about the property on which the hunting preserve sits, and full of questions about the suspicious deaths of his wife and child in a car crash and his mother in a house fire on the same day, he employs a local lawyer to help him figure out what’s going on.

Can they solve the mystery before Lindy is lost forever?
