Deception Island

By Janice Boekhoff

Description:

An island prison. Deadly dinosaur species. A daring escape.

Now it’s a race to find the truth before someone notices she’s gone …

Imprisoned on dinosaur-infested Costa Rica, Oakley Laveau is haunted by the desperate question of why her mother tried to kill her. When a dream hints at answers to her mysterious past, she’s determined to uncover the secrets of her manipulated DNA. Oakley boldly decides to flee and hunt down the truth at any price … even execution.

Slipping away from the island with the help of a loyal friend, headstrong Oakley makes it to a floating research lab. But with the FBI in pursuit and a smug scientist plotting to exploit her, she may find her newfound freedom is deadlier than the cage she fled.

Will Oakley’s determination to trace the clues of her past reveal a dangerous secret better left uncovered?

Book Takeaway:

Our identity doesn't come from our genetics but from the purpose (hopefully, God-given) with which we live our lives.

Why the author wrote this book:

I love to explore the struggle for identity and how people search for it in different ways. Oakley thinks she will know who she is once she discovers her true genetic origins, but that is only the beginning.
