I have not set down to read much this year but some key pieces that have and are impacting my life are Redeeming Love, a story in which a young girl, given away by her mother at a young age and forced into a brothel is rescued by a Christian man who shows her what love really is.

She gets stopped at a red light and happens to look over and see her mother digging through a dumpster.
