He Took My Sister!

A Joy Bell Mystery

Her mother died when she and her baby sister were young, and her father followed shortly after remarrying. Joy and her eleven-year-old sister, Lily, barely survive their stepmother's daily rage.

Stepmother Maude works the night shift and drinks heavily afterward until early morning. Resentful and truculent, she makes their lives almost unbearable. If not for her protective neighbor, adults at school, and a new friend, Joy would be miserable.

In this book, Joy’s sister is kidnapped. Circumstances lead to Joy, her neighbor, and Mateo—her new friend—as the only ones to hunt down the kidnapper before Lily disappears forever.

What follows is a short excerpt.

“Stepping back slightly, she takes Joy’s face in her hand and asks again, “Why? Why didn’t you come to me?” Tearing up, Joy quietly responds, “I didn’t want to intervene, but I could see myself in that boy’s eyes. He was powerless against those bullies. As a mixed-race Korean and Latina, I was bullied nearly every day in elementary school until I stood up for my little sister. Once I punched a boy in the face for telling Lily she was a dog, no one messed with either of us again.”
