Is a Trafficking Victim the Only One Who Can Set Jean Free?
Jean has been called Blue Jean since childhood, but not because of her clothing. She wears nondescript colors and avoids people when she can. Her world is unhappy but predictable, until the new pastor and his handsome brother move into town. A chance encounter brings the town prostitute to church that Sunday, starting a chain reaction that will shake the church to its core.
Will Jean embrace the truth that will set her free, or will fear keep her captive forever?
"Rae brings to light difficult subject matter with empathy and restraint, gracefully exploring the pain of overcoming violation and trauma through the eyes of the victims....This is an uplifting story about the courage it takes to reform a community and care for the marginalized and neglected."

Praise For Shredded
...this book really blew me away! So many nice little Christian novels out there, but so few that really attempt to be life-changing....It makes such a difference!... I was so taken away with the story. All the emotion, the drama, the romance and tenderness, the action, adventure. I couldn't wait to see what happened but I didn't want it to end either. I really can't say enough good things about it and how much I enjoyed it. WOW!... I was nervous with anticipation and crying and so caught up in it all. I had to put the book down to give myself an emotional break. :) ... I rarely cry over books, but I think that other than Karen Kingsbury, [Rae is] the only other author that has made me cry while reading a book. -Sue
I love it!!!...[Rae's] best book yet I think! Can't put it down. -Mary
I couldn't put the book down... a compelling story of suspense and romance. -Jeanie
...incredible. -Michael
I think this is [Rae's] best book yet. It is so relative to today's church and how we treat people. It is a wonderful mix of relationships, interwoven with suspense and love. It is a must read for anyone who thinks their past defines them and gives them no hope, whether they are a victim of human trafficking, child abuse, or just bad decision making, because Jesus can wipe the slate clean. -Wanda
This is an intense book! Very well written, great character development....I don't know someone that couldn't identify with one or more characters in it, the heart, the heartbreak, the discomfort with someone they don't know/understand, the living in fear. I LOVE Candy's character....She is so raw and real....I literally cried. I cannot say enough about this book. I literally couldn't put it down. It was SO GOOD. -Amy
Shredded was compelling, convicting, and compassionate at once...a deeply disturbing reality packaged with grace, humor, and a sweet love story. I couldn't put it down. -Joy
...hands down my favorite author. -Tiffany
Warning!! You won't want to put it down once you get started!! ...there's no stopping. Awesome, awesome book!!!! -Sue

Award-winning author of over 30 books, Kimberly Rae has been published over 200 times and has work in 5 languages. Rae lived in Bangladesh, Kosovo, Uganda, and Indonesia, before Addison's disease brought her permanently back to the U.S. She now lives in Madison, Georgia, with her husband and two young children. Rae's suspense and romance novels on international human trafficking and missions (
Stolen Woman, Stolen Child, and
Stolen Future) are all Amazon bestsellers.
Since the release of her trilogy on human trafficking, Rae has become a sought after speaker and trainer on the topic. Recognizing the lack of books about slavery and trafficking that focus on those who are making a difference rather than glorifying the evil or being overly graphic or despairing, she has also since created a series on modern day slavery for teens and pre-teens (Capturing Jasmina, Buying Samir, and Seeking Mother), and a coloring book to help children recognize and avoid childhood sexual abuse (I AM SAFE), a major risk factor in childhood and adult exploitation.
"People out there care and want to make a difference," Rae says. "I love getting to help them do that."
