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
