What begins as a fight for survival quickly becomes a desperate effort to free the girls from both the storm outside and the captivity within.But rescue is only the beginning.With the help of a courageous woman who once escaped slavery herself, the survivors are brought to a hidden safe house where healing, protection, and hope begin.
