(Quote) "She doesn't even know who I am now. She will though. She will be a perfect addition to my collection." (End of quote)  With this foreshadowing, Author Jason A. Joseph lets the reader know that something extremely evil, distasteful and unexpected is going to happen. In real life, bad things happen to good people all the time, but if we are lucky, honestly, it's someone else. Anybody else, but not us. So the importance of this book is the unique opportunity it provides us to reflect on how we get into situations of this sort.Is it our fault, for trusting in the basic human decency and goodness of our fellow human beings? Are we simply too innocent, too naive, when it comes to our personal safety? On the other hand, is life worth living if we are afraid of everything and everybody that is out of the ordinary?I admit I have no answers to these questions which this book raises in my mind. Yet as you read this book, which I highly recommend, you will begin to reflect consciously on this issue. I believe that this reflection is a worthwhile use of our reading time...Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofStory Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness
