Heart-breaking yet suspenseful tale of recovery.

Once We Were There by Bernice Chauly is a perfect read for those who like a mix of love, heartbreak, tension, and recovery. The book's unique aspect is its depiction of the dark side of city life, where babies are sold and girls are trafficked. The novel will make the reader feel the pain of losing an innocent child and the struggles of second chances. The book's narrative style is slow, which helps create a profound insight into the lives of the characters. When you finish reading, you will be left feeling stunned at how real the story felt.
