A family camping trip was supposed to bring Jasmine and Cienna closer.

Cienna is sold to a man who seems somewhat friendly -- until he ties her up in a barn and keeps her there. At first, he seems like a protector. But when she discovers what's hidden deep in his home, the truth is more terrifying than she imagined.
There's more at risk than her life.

The author did an amazing job at telling the character's story... only a few chapters in I am rooting for these two girls like never before. I rivaled at the character's strengths. It was a beautiful story of strength and endurance. -Claire
INNOCENT LIVES IS A WELL-WRITTEN BOOK!
"I knew after reading Innocent Journeys: Rose and Penny this book would be good. I never imagined how good!... I read Go Ask Alice at a way younger age than I probably should have, but it shaped my life as well as many others. This book will too. -dagaz98
"Julie tackles a difficult subject. Hard but necessary to face. She draws you in fully to the lives of two different victims, crosscut stories, but also manages to show you where angels show up. She gives hope, and encouragement to press through." - Cheryl McKay (Award Winning Screenwriter, The Ultimate Gift and Co-Author, Never the Bride)
INNOCENT LIVES SHOWS ABUSIVE CONDITIONING
"Author did a marvelous job of showing the psychological conditioning by abductors. The step-by-step conditioning displayed in their behavior and actions, without ever having to explain it, is fantastic. She makes the reader identify and care for these girls, to the point of tears. A deeply moving book." -Richard B.
