When she was just a child, Jade’s mother stole her away from her father and descended into the cultish world of The People of Joy. But her mother dies, and Jade is trapped for years of horrific treatment and abuse by members of the cult who now control her. She finally escapes but has to live on the run, hoping the cult never finds her—because they’ll stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe. Living on the streets, and always on the move, Jade turns to art for salvation and for survival. When a painting of his vanished wife surfaces, Sam Cochrane knows the artist has to lead him to the girl he’s never stopped searching for—his long-lost daughter Jade. He hires friend and ex-cop Luke Kelly to help find her. Soon Jade and her father are reunited, but as Luke and Jade grow closer and finally begin to feel safe, little do they know of the danger the news of her miraculous return puts her in…

From Publishers Weekly Readers who have come to appreciate Sala's predilection for controversial topics and her ability to skillfully convey their emotional impact will relish this but moving romantic suspense novel. Kidnapped by her upper-middle-class mother, who'd inexplicably "turned into some mushroom-smoking hippie named Ivy," six-year-old Jade Cochrane was prostituted to pedophiles following her mom's death and knew little of childhood besides life in a cult called The People of Joy. Now a gorgeous, albeit troubled, street painter in her late 20s, Jade unwittingly sets in motion a reunion with her long-lost father when she sells a painting to one of his vacationing friends. After Jade's tumultuous, highly publicized return to her loving father's arms, former cult members get wind of her whereabouts and threaten the seeming safety and happiness she's finally found with her father and kind-hearted security expert Luke Kelly. The use of flashbacks lends credibility to Jade's past and helps flesh out her character. Although Sala (Dark Water, etc.) has the tendency to overstate her points, which is evidenced by the book's de trop epilogue, she handles the sensitive issue of Jade's past with skill, never allowing her story to descend into melodrama. In short, this is the perfect entertainment for those looking for a suspense novel with emotional intensity. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Review "Spellbinding narrative...Sala lives up to her reputation with this well-crafted thriller."

Drawn in by their snake charming leader, Solomon, she steals her baby and leaves her husband, Sam, behind, never dreaming that instead of Heaven, she was consigning herself and her little girl, Jade, to Hell.Twenty five years later, Jade and her friend, Raphael, have escaped the People and been on the run for longer than they can remember. The art that sustains them will be their salvation. One of Margaret's acquaintances sees a portrait Jade did of her mother, and that is enough for Sam's detective friend, Luke, to find Jade. The years have left scars on Jade's soul. After her mother died, she became a commodity, sold to the pedophile who would pay the most. Only when maturity made her unappealing to that brand of pervert could she and Rafe escape. Yet, unknown to Jade, Rafe is dying because of what was done to him. Being found by Luke and Sam is an answer to his own prayers; now he knows he can leave Earth with Jade cared for, he just doesn't know how soon. Those who hurt them the most have seen the pictures as well, and want to silence the two runaways. When they kill Rafe, Luke becomes determined they won't do the same to the woman he's come to love.***** Light and dark contrast in this complex novel. Jade and Rafe will wrench your heart with the beauty of their souls. Somehow, both retain an innocence despite the hardness of their lives. A round of applause must go to Ms Sala for avoiding the overused angst that might be used in characterizing Jade and Luke's relationship. Overall, this novel is suspenseful, sweet, and hopeful all at once. *****

Tunstall Sharon Sala's new romantic suspense is light on both romance and suspense, but two of her characters stand out with amazing depth. Jade, the lead of the story, and Raphael, her friend, share a convincing, complex relationship, built by the bonds of their past. If the lead character of Luke Kelly had been as carefully drawn as Raphael, and if his interaction with Jade has been as deep, it might be believable that the two end up together. As it is, her healing happens much too quickly to be believable, and there's so little substance to Luke that one wonders what she possibly sees in him.Their relationship is improbable, at best. By page 142, Luke is falling in love with Jade, despite hardly knowing her. So far, she's been alternately clingy and prickly--not much of a basis for a relationship. At this point in the book, she can't even stand for him to touch her, so what makes his heart pitter-patter for her?Despite its flaws, this book has memorable sections. Ms. Sala confronts head-on a topic one doesn't generally find in women's fiction. She handles child sexual abuse, lingering fear, and trying to heal all with grace, class, and sensitivity. Some passages of the book made me teary-eyed.I'd say this book might have been better as a straight suspense, rather than augmenting it with a romance, but that side of the plot falls flat too. The villains are predictable, the tension is non-existent, and the threads are woven together with too much coincidence to be plausible. One thing that really bothered me was the scenes where Luke confronts the antagonists. Regardless of his past as a cop, no police station would have let him interrogate the men.All in all, this is an average read, but lacking some of the componenents that would make it a fantastic book. Sadly, Ms. Sala seems to have joined the assembly line of authors producing romantic suspense, simply because it's popular, and not because it showcases her talent. Look for her older books if you want to see her shine.

By A Customer Maggie Cochrane steals away in the night with her young daughter, Jade, to join the cult known as the People of Joy. Within two years Maggie is dead and Jade is being used as a child prostitute by the leader of the group, Soloman. Her father, Sam, has never stopped looking for her and completely by a fluke he finds out where she is and he sends his friend, Luke, to find her. Luke brings Jade and her companion Rafe back to St. Louis and instead of a happy homecoming, a killer learns of her return and plots his revenge...I've been a long-time fan of this author and I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I couldn't. I don't have a problem with the subject matter rather my issues with this book stem from the improbable romance and poor research that was completed.The romance between Jade and Luke felt forced. How can a man fall in love with a woman he doesn't know, whom he has barely spoken to and she can't stand to be touched? He can't. They have no shared experiences nor common ground yet he's falling in love with her within a day of meeting her?Second - the research is off the mark with regards to police procedures. SWAT teams do not allow street officers to enter a house with them. That is a really good way for a street officer to get killed as they don't train with the SWAT team. Also - when called to the house of a dangerous person, street officers don't pull up and make themselves known as this book portrays. They park down the street and come in on foot under some sort of cover.I had numerous other problems such as the tone felt `preachy' with regards to religion and some of Jade's motivations are unclear and consequently she comes off as wishy-washy at times. I'd recommend you skip this book and pick up some of Sala's older work such as Chance McCall or Jackson Rule (writing as Dinah McCall)
