Gerry is an attractive and intelligent schoolteacher in her thirties.  On the surface, her life seems normal, happy, and average.  Married to a handsome London police detective, Richard, their lives depict the epitome of marital stability, but superficial appearances can cover dirty secrets.   

When winter arrives in London, Gerry’s life is as bleak as the season, and Richard’s violent behavior escalates as his drinking increases. With their relationship crumbling and the last vestiges of her sanity still intact, Gerry flees to rural France.  On the flight out of London, Gerry meets two seemingly benign and elderly sisters.           

The charming sisters, sensing Gerry’s desperation, introduce her to Ken, the chauffer of a charitable organization that assists young girls in finding adoptive parents.  Gerry is introduced to the charity and joins Ken in working for them. Gerry and Ken soon learn that this so-called charity does indeed assist young women—into prostitution—and the two are forced to run from criminals who wish to keep them quiet.           

Meanwhile, Richard uncovers the illegal connection to the charity and searches for Gerry, not knowing that his wife is already in grave danger.  Gerry and Ken finds themselves in the middle of the perilous world of child prostitution that will lead them to unimaginable and horrific places.            

Will Richard find Gerry before the criminals do?  Has she traded one hell for another?  Sahara to Shame is a riveting tale of suspense and romance with rich characters, sharp dialogue and a stunning conclusion.
