{"product_id":"2940012264527","title":"Taken","description":"Welcome to the fictitious little town of Watery, Pennsylvania where the district attorney's personal secretary, Mary Murray never planned to become a single mom or a suspect in her infant's disappearance, but she plans to find Jena before she suffers the same fate Mary's younger brother had when he was taken twelve years earlier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAND\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a beta reader-I must tell you that everything I've read lately has bored me to tears...until today. Honestly, I could not put TAKEN down. I was pleasantly surprised. I felt the author captured each character's personality and conveyed them to the reader with such clarity, that they felt like real people. I was thrilled with how the book ended---Lucilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom The Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears ago a small child was taken from his home not far from where I live. The child was never found. His disappearance haunted me over the years, and still does. Hopefully someday I will know what happened to that little boy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt breaks my heart every time I hear a news report about a missing child. So I suppose the disappearance of that little boy long ago and those heart breaking news stories is what drove me to write TAKEN.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Inside Flap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first snow storm of the season made driving treacherous. Red lights on emergency vehicles suddenly flashed up ahead. Flares lit up the highway. Teddy braked harder when the state trooper standing on the center line came into view. The trooper waved his arm and pointed toward the opposite lane from the accident. Teddy breathed more freely and moved on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvading detection was easy this time. Sliding into a ditch and needing to be rescued like that other driver would be a downright injustice after making it this far.","brand":"Debra Lee Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171550871792,"sku":"2940012264527","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012264527_p0.jpg?v=1763554335","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012264527","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
