Branded eBook D Perdue Henderson
This book was very well written. I started the book in the Dr.'s office waiting room, and stayed up half the night until I finished it. The character development was amazing. The author was able to humanize the most inhumane while at the same time, reminding the reader how so many lives were ruined by utter depravity. This book really makes the reader think, long after the book is finished.Product details

Branded eBook D Perdue Henderson Reviews
D. Perdue Henderson's book is a sad, yet all-too-true story of an abducted girl and her life in the hands of her kidnappers. The first few chapters of the book are hard to read but once you get over it, you can never keep the book down. I highly recommend this story for people who want a great read and a an unpredictable plot!
I recently ran into the author at my college and she told me about her book. I started to read the book on my on my phone and immediately fell in love with it. Who ever says this book is terrible must be joking. I love books like this and it has a great story line.
This book is about a 12 year old girl name Amy Collins who got abducted and being forced into prostitution. As you read on, you find out how she tried to understand what happened and why she was targetted, how she attempted to escape few times and then decided to stay on, how she coped with her new life and identity and how years later on she emerged from her ordeal.
I do feel disappointed when reading how close Amy was to her freedom but she decided to stay put. There are certain parts in the book which I felt are unnecessary or deserved longer plot - such as how Amy took over the operations and the way she handled the business for the brief period was a bit too general and seems too easy.
In my opinion, this book is worth reading but do expect a twist at the end!
When I first saw the synopsis for Branded, I thought it would be a little different than what it was. I thought it was going to be a mixture of a true story account of a s$x trafficking survivor and Room by Donahue. What I found was a cross between neither. Instead I found a nice little treasure that was actually quite comical, despite the topic.
Cat (Amy Collins) is a junior high school student, abducted at the tender age of 12. Amy spent 5 years being drugged, raped, beaten, and forced to live in a s$x camp. She grew up faster than most 12 year olds forced to look at her life, choosing to live it "as-is" instead of taking another path. The story tells us what she did to survive those early years. How it changed her. We hear of friends she made along the way and even how she fell in love with Jimmy, the man responsible for her abduction. Amy made the choice to accept Cat as the girl she was. Make the best of her situation and surroundings. I wonder if others would make the same choice or would they choose death instead?
The relationship between Cat and Jimmy, despite the terrible way in which they were united, was actually simple to get involved in. I found myself laughing at them more than once. Having been raised in the south, I loved how the author wrote Jimmy's accident. I found myself giving him a voice in my head.
Yes, the message is powerful. Child s$x trafficking does happen right here in the United States. It seems like every time I open a magazine there is some woman trying to push the crusade to help those in other countries. I can appreciate that. I can also honor and respect that. What bothers me is when it happens right in our own backyard. The book makes you aware, even if it is a book of fiction; you still know these things are happening in the world today.
Being a survivor of s$xual abuse that happened to me for 12 years , I can relate to some of the mental anguish Cat experiences for her 5. People often look at you funny, judge you, and are not sure how to treat you. You have to relearn life. Life lessons you missed out on being a child. You learn to accept what happened to you, and how it shaped you. You learn to move forward and make the best of the life you were given.
People may not always understand or agree. And they won't until they walk a mile in our shoes.
Branded by D. Perdue Henderson is a powerful message about children being abducted off the streets and roads of their cities and villages by perverts, alleged business entrepreneurs, pimps into making trying to be rich from the selling of sex slaves, innocent children from pre-teens to adolescents? This is a story of one young victim's fate when she was snatched off a street in front of her junior high school by pimps driving an average looking van. It is a horrific tale about her choices she has to decide if she was to stay alive; and the traumas and events she was part of or witness of others who double-crossed the pimp. In this story the girl experiences life changing turmoil through stages of anger, defiance, submission through extortion and then she becomes her kidnapper's main squeeze because she is a wild cat, a strong willed fighter and he desires her.
This story is a message of precaution and warning to protect the innocent and when a child looks abuse, hungry and dirty; and pleads for help; don't think the adult knows better and walk away; because they will lie to protect themselves from being arrested; don't always take the adult's word, and if something feels uncanny in your gut, then follow through by taking down license plate numbers and descriptions and called the police.
There is the fear of threats and there are many reports of police stopping speeders or violators of the law; and do not investigate when something does not feel right or if they do then they are injured or fatally killed, if this book could save one life then it is worth the investment. The conclusion to this story is that this victim has to decide to be bitter or forgive her kidnappers and the life she suffers through and her personal message of strength to prevent it from occurring to another unfortunate victim.
This author is declaring that society needs to be more attentive to children's presence and beware of the devils on the prowl. To protect the weak and defenseless against the wolves in sheep clothing. By reading this book it has made me more aware to keep my eyes and ears open in the community and if something does not feel right then it should be report personally or anonymous to protect the children of the world before they are abducted and their fragile lives are broken forever.
The urgency of this story compels the reader to want to advocate for laws to be voted on to have all book bags or personal items equipped with a safety device such as an emergency GPS in them to ring a silent alarm to the local precinct and alert an Amber Alert. This is a good book for adults and older teens to read and sit down with their children to have a discussion about stranger danger and teach them techniques to keep them safe.
This book was very well written. I started the book in the Dr.'s office waiting room, and stayed up half the night until I finished it. The character development was amazing. The author was able to humanize the most inhumane while at the same time, reminding the reader how so many lives were ruined by utter depravity. This book really makes the reader think, long after the book is finished.
