Indigo Tears by Dennis J. Butler is nothing less than BRILLIANT. I planned on reading this book in a few days and ended up unable to put it down. What Butler does here is somehow give us a positive angle on the disgusting realities of human trafficking. Something that literally goes on right under our noses. Something humanly impossible to focus on but a reality nonetheless. Gavin Hawkins is the hero in this story and sets about to rescue the children who have been stolen thoughtlessly from their families, the loving families and people that care, and forced to have sex with strangers. Usually but children themselves. Where you're considered "lucky" to end up a sex slave as private property, versus a filthy, disease ridden brothel. I literally had to stop and catch my breath in parts of this story. So captivating, terrifyingly real and close to home. I have six children of my own and had to force my mind from even going there.The character descriptions hear so vivid and alive, diverse and magnetic. Each one you will find various levels to relate and that just fuels the desire to want more.Butler manages to take something that literally breaks your heart and spin it so there is a sliver of hope. No silver lining but something for those affected to hang onto in their darkened times.There's no doubt I have been touched by this book. One that deserves reading and recognition for the fabulous story it is. Definitely worth the read!
