About this ebook

2017 Red Ribbon Winner in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards!
“In the midst of happy memories of licking the chocolate chip cookie batter...Adam spotted a woman on the ground.”
Adam, an eighteen year-old with autism, unwittingly puts himself and his father in danger when he finds Marina on their property. Nursing fresh wounds from losing his mother, Adam is ecstatic to accept her as a new mother figure into her life. He longs for someone to take walks with and who will watch nature videos with him. He can’t fathom, however, the horrific existence Marina has led prior to appearing in his neighborhood.
Marina, abducted from her country of Moldova, has landed in America and somehow managed to escape the human trafficking ring. Starving, filthy, and exhausted, she has nowhere to turn and desperately needs Adam’s assistance. But what will Adam’s father think of him allowing this emaciated refugee into their home?
Adam’s father Bruce is struggling as a widowed father and sole caregiver of Adam while trying to hold down a regular job. How will he take on the added responsibility of protecting Marina from the traffickers who are intent on recapturing her? Can he successfully protect both her and his childlike son?

Author

Idelle Kursman

Idelle Kursman was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. She earned her bachelor's degree from Boston College and her master's from William Paterson University. Idelle taught for many years and was a correspondent for a local newspaper. She has written articles for various publications and writes regularly on her website. She has a loved one with autism and after watching the movie Taken five years ago, she felt compelled to write a novel about human trafficking. Since Idelle loves thrillers, especially if it is a book she cannot put down, she sought to give readers this experience in her debut novel. At the same time, Idelle wants to raise awareness for autism and the international human trafficking crisis. She is getting her second novel ready for publication. Idelle lives with her family in New Jersey. She would like to personally thank her readers who have taken the time to review True Mercy.
