Book Description

Publication Date: March 23, 2010

It was supposed to be a quick trip to the grocery store, but it turned into an Unspeakable Journey.

On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Isabella is abducted in the parking lot of her local grocery store. Hasam, a sinister human trafficker, arranges for her to marry his longtime friend and Saudi Arabian prince, Latif.

Latif has everything--political prowess, success, and wealth--until he meets Isabella. She is beautiful, alluring, and all that he has dreamed of in a wife, and Isabella's defiant refusal makes her even more desirable.

Far from home, in a land where women are oppressed, Isabella struggles with the loss of her husband and two daughters, imprisonment, and isolation. Will God rescue her from this nightmare? Will she give in to hopeless despair?

Join author Rinda Hahn in this story of passion and obsession, faith and bravery, and find out what happens on an Unspeakable Journey.

The cover of this book intrigued me when I saw a man reading it on a plane. I read the back of the cover to see what it was about. That was 2 years ago. I wrote down the name of the book and the author, wanting to buy it at some point. I finally did buy it last week and once I started reading, could not put it down. This book teaches you that with hope and faith in Christ, you can make it through situations that arise in life that you may feel you can never overcome. It also gives insight into what happens in a Muslim culture and, as many Muslims are living in the US today, it helps to know some of the background when you happen to encounter people from that culture and society. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

This review is from: Unspeakable Journey (Perfect Paperback)

I ordered this book based on the rave reviews it received here on Amazon. I expected way more than the book delivered. While it was an interesting story I never felt that I connected with the main character and most of the others as well. I only finished it because I rarely don't finish a book that I start - but it was forced. The ending was a real collapse. I did appreciate the Christian thread that ran through the book but I felt that could have been explored on a deeper level. The dialogue was choppy throughout.

This review is from: Unspeakable Journey (Perfect Paperback)

The emotions that kept me up late at night reading my pre-release copy of Unspeakable Journey were intense: horror, disgust, anxiety, and grief intertwined with faith, hope, trust, and a skeptical optimism. I'm almost embarrassed to say this about a fictional character, but as Isabella searched for strength to fight through an unimaginable situation, I found myself praying with her and desperately longing for the impossible outcome. I was stressed out and fully engaged considering the possibility of an unexpected separation from the whole world and life that I know and love. Despite its intensity, the author masterfully interlaced hopeful moments of joy, accomplishment and even youthful flirtation that allowed much-needed relief from the horrific gravity of the situation. I could relate with Isabella throughout the book and was personally and spiritually challenged by her courage and refusal to lose sight of the one true source of strength.

For a first novel to capture and hold its reader through such a wild ride speaks to the author's natural talent and creativity. I look forward to future works from this author!
