Madeleine McCann

Once more the hunt for Madeleine McCann is on.  It is now about 16 years since she disappeared from a Portuguese holiday resort when only about three years old.  Her parents have suffered agonies during those intervening years and still cling onto the hope that they might find her alive and well somewhere.  They are even still keeping her old bedroom for her. The dreadful thing is that for those 16 years they have lived in a constant state of not knowing where their daughter is.  I would guess that this is probably the hardest thing of all too bear.


Every day thousands of children are taken from their parents to become sexual slaves and their parents never see them again. So the years drag on and they die not knowing where their children have gone.  

To live through a little of this experience with one Brazilian family as they hunt for their daughter who went ostensibly to be a maid in the nearby city but was actually imprisoned in a brothel, then read the novel ‘The Garden of Sparkling Delight.’ This story will not only let you walk with the heroine as she endures this grim fate, but also see the pain that her loving parents also go through.


The novel has been written to highlight the dreadful suffering that goes on all over the world in every country. Nowhere are girls and boys safe from the greed of sex traffickers. It is hoped that the more people who know of this dreadful trade the more likely it is that we can fight it. Please read the book. It is published on Amazon in paperback and Kindle, and as a free audio download from this website. 

No money is made from the sale of the book or its production as any profit goes to charities working to set sex slaves free.

You can use this link to the audio version, The Podcast or go to the links at the top of this WEB page and select 'Tis The Podcast'.  There you will find access to the 21 half hours episodes to listen on-line or download for later listening and sharing. 

Please listen or read the novel and recommend The Garden of Sparkling Delight to your friends. Reviews would be much appreciated.  Thank you so much.  Deborah
