Vibrant flowers and crystal glasses adorn the wedding tables. The orchestra plays softly in the background. Udel Steinberg sits on her bridal chair in joyful anticipation. But where is the chassan? Is there a simple explanation for his absence-or is something more sinister at play? Eighteen years earlier, newly married Tuvia and Esti Steinberg set out for Mexico with the best of intentions-to work in the wealthy Jewish community and earn enough to buy an apartment of their own back in Israel. But their happy dreams collide with a terrible reality when their newborn daughter is kidnapped. Follow the Steinbergs' desperate search of Mexico's back roads and big cities, its mansions and mountains. Can they scrape together the means-and the courage-to rescue their baby from a heartless criminal and his gang? Based on a true story, Stolen Dreams will keep you spellbound all the way to its exhilarating and unpredictable finish. By Rachel Schorr, popular author of After the Darkness, The Search, Zero Hour, Zero Limits, and other great reads. - from Amzon
