Margaret Daley

As a part of this scavenger hunt, I’m hosting Margaret Daley. A former teacher and Special Olympics coach, Margaret currently serves as President of American Christian Fiction Writers. She is an award winning author who writes romance and romantic suspense. Margaret's most recent release is Saving Hope, the first book in the Men of the Texas Rangers series.

This is what SAVING HOPE is about:

When a teenager goes missing from the Beacon of Hope School, Texas Ranger Wyatt Sheridan and school director Kate Winslow are forced into a dangerous struggle against a human trafficking organization. But the battle brings dire consequences as Wyatt's daughter is terrorized and Kate is kidnapped.

Now it's personal, and Wyatt finds both his faith and investigative skills challenged as he fights to discover the mastermind behind the ring before evil destroys everyone he loves.

A Scavenger Hunt Exclusive from Margaret:

When I read about the Children of the Night Organization while researching human trafficking, I knew I had to come up with a place similar to it as part of my story. I created for Saving Hope the Beacon of Hope Program. Kate Winslow, the heroine, runs it with private funds.

Dr. Lois Lee founded the Children of the Night Organization back in 1979 in order to reach out to teens who were caught up in human sex trafficking. She started it in her own home, feeding and taking care of these children. She used her own phone to establish a phone line for teens to call to get help. Today about 10,000 teens a year call this 24-hour hotline.

The organization grew and soon they were able to open a shelter. Today it is a 24 bed licensed group home for children ages 11-17. It gives support to these teens and helps give them skills to succeed in a life. The organization gives them medical support, counseling and education. In other words a second chance.

If you are interested in reading about the Children of the Night Organization, you can find them on their website at: http://www.childrenofthenight.org/. It is a privately funded organization that has made a difference in thousands of teens' lives.
