Book Description
Following a small courthouse wedding, criminal defense attorney Adam Kennedy and his bride Ellen, a high-school teacher and tennis coach, set sail for a weekend, honeymoon cruise to Kelleys Island. Their idyllic bubble bursts when hijackers board their sailboat in the middle of the night and order them at gunpoint to make it to a rendezvous point before daylight, or die. While fighting terrible weather conditions on Lake Erie, Adam and Ellen are shocked to discover that the contraband they are transporting is not drugs, as they suspected, but two teenage girls. The realization that they are unwilling participants in a human trafficking scheme forces them to confront an agonizing decision when, with time running out, the opportunity to save themselves presents itself. Can they live with themselves if they walk away, or do they stay and risk their own lives, on the off chance that they can rescue these young women, whom they barely know, from the horrors of life as sex slaves?

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NBCC John Leonard Prize Finalist Indie Bestseller “This is a book people will be talking about forever.” —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “Ford’s wrenchingly brilliant memoir is truly a classic in the making. The writing is so richly observed and so suffused with love and yearning that I kept forgetting to breathe while reading it.” —John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author One of the most prominent voices of her generation debuts with an extraordinarily powerful memoir: the story of a childhood defined by the looming absence of her incarcerated father. Through poverty, adolescence, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley C. Ford wishes she could turn to her father for hope and encouragement. There are just a few problems: he’s in prison, and she doesn’t know what he did to end up there. She doesn’t know how to deal with the incessant worries that keep her up at night, or how to handle the changes in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. In her search for unconditional love, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates. When the relationship turns sour, he assaults her. Still reeling from the rape, which she keeps secret from her family, Ashley desperately searches for meaning in the chaos. Then, her grandmother reveals the truth about her father’s incarceration . . . and Ashley’s entire world is turned upside down. Somebody’s Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl in Indiana with a family fragmented by incarceration, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she embarks on a powerful journey to find the threads between who she is and what she was born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them.
