Rare: Part One (The Blurb)
A heart-wrenching story of faith, dark obsession, and a love that was written in the stars-long before the world tried to tear it apart.
Alice's world was safe and sanctuary-like within the walls of the 'Shaarei Zion' Jewish boarding school. But when her mother's sudden death forces her back into the hands of her cold, obsessive stepfather, the sanctuary vanishes. Alice finds herself a prisoner in a house of shadows, where her only weapon is her faith.
A divine encounter on a lonely road changes everything. When Jonathan stops their car to ask for help, a spark is ignited between two strangers-a connection so deep it can only be Bashert. Jonathan sees the woman behind the beauty, the soul behind the scars.
But their light is quickly extinguished.
Ripped away from Jonathan and locked in an isolated nightmare, Alice is forced to endure the unthinkable. In the darkness of her own home, she gives birth alone, only to be met with the ultimate cruelty: they show her a blood-stained doll, a horrific lie to convince her that her newborn child is gone forever.
Broken and grieving, Alice clings to the one thing they couldn't steal-her spirit. She doesn't know that her baby is alive. She doesn't know that her daughter has been sold to the very family she was torn away from.
Rare is a gripping journey of resilience and the unbreakable bond between a mother and the child she doesn't know she still has.
