Author Anne Patrick has done a wonderful job in writing the short story, "Dangerous Deception". This action packed little gem is sure to captivate the interest of any discerning reader. It is not only an enjoyable read but an educational tool as well. This fast-paced novella is packed with information about the perils and suffering of others in underdeveloped countries who are at the mercy of rebels or undemocratic governments that use torture to rule the masses.Despite the plight of the orphans and many other people suffering at the hands of the mercenaries, Ms. Patrick manages to show the delight of the children receiving gifts and much needed care offered by the missionaries and volunteers devoted to their cause. She also adds a hint of romance between the two main characters, Jack Peterson and investigative journalist, Gwen Jacobs. This short story peeked my interest so much so that I did not want it to come to such a quick end. I would love to have read more. The content of this book touched my heart and made me realize the plight of the many less fortunate people in other parts of the world, especially the children affected by the devastation of civil war. The touch of faith added to this story further enhances its content!
