This is the chilling account of a calculated kidnapping of a vulnerable child by a pedophile who manages to convince himself that their "relationship" benefits the 11-year old girl. I am horrified that one reviewer described it as "a love story" if one thinks outside the box. Equally disturbing is the consideration that it might be a consensual situation. No child is able to make a determination of that magnitude, and the kidnapper is well aware of his culpability during their trip across the Midwest. A sequel to this book would be interesting because Tommie's life is inevitably affected and David Lamb may well be inclined to turn his attention to kidnapping another child.
