content: This book is truly unbelievable. None of the characters are even remotely realistic. A federal judge who finds a child in the woods, beaten and sexually abused, and DOESN'T involve the feds or even the cops? In fact, he "kidnaps" the girl himself. A six year old child who is smarter than an adult? Some of the responses this child made to questions or situations that arose made me shake my head and wonder if Catherine Coulter could possibly have any children of her own. How about a mom who singlehandedly rescues the child and confronts the "kidnapper" all alone? How about a rock singer father who just happens to stop existing as soon as the story needs him to?
