HEARTBEAT - MY DEBUT NOVEL
An OB/GYN physician in her final year of training discovers her young pregnant patient has a secret. As the story of stolen identity and international sex trafficking unfolds, the two women risk everything, including their futures, the safety of their daughters, and even their lives, to escape.
Elizabeth, a busy physician grieving the death of her husband, buries herself in her work, avoiding her teenage daughter.
Salome, a trafficked teen, becomes pregnant, and that is the impetus to fight back against her captors and finally escape to a better life.
Elizabeth risks her career to help Salome and finds people in her intimate circle who are involved in the human trafficking ring, and they will kill to hide their secrets.
Renda Knapp, MD
As a practicing OB/GYN physician for more than 20 years, I've become increasingly interested in the stories of my patients' lives. While my novel is a work of fiction, I draw on my years of experience to craft stories and relationships in my manuscript. I have raised seven children and traveled extensively on all seven continents. When I'm not writing or caring for patients, you might find me working on my peony farm, hiking, kayaking, or walking with her husband on the beach in our hometown of Homer, Alaska.
