A journalist in search of truth. A mother on the run. A nation bound by fear.

Leigh Parker, an ambitious reporter tired of fluff pieces, finally gets her chance at hard-hitting news when she stumbles upon a human rights scandal that shakes her to the core. Traveling to China under the guise of a volunteer, she uncovers a shocking reality–women persecuted for their pregnancies, babies ripped from their mothers’ arms, and a society where forced abortion is law.

When Leigh befriends Chan Mei, a courageous young mother hiding a forbidden pregnancy, she’s thrust into a race against time. With the ruthless Chinese Communist Party closing in, Leigh makes a desperate choice–risk her career, her safety, and the love of the only man who has ever challenged her worldview to expose a truth the world refuses to see.

But justice comes at a cost. As Leigh’s story goes viral, will it be enough to save women and their unborn children? Or will they all become casualties of a system that silences dissent at any cost?

Perfect for fans of The Nightingale and The Kite Runner, Trapped in the Tentacles: Mei’s Story is a gripping tale of courage, faith, and the power of one voice to spark a revolution. Will Leigh’s story set them free–or seal their fate?
