D. D. Kimberley said Thank you for this book.. Excruciating and exquisite. Repulsive and riveting.Heartbreaking.Well done, Mr. Hickmon. You've crafted a compelling story around a great deal of research (and experience, no doubt) about the effects of abuse on the brain of a child, about the realities of PTSD, and shown a light on 'biblical truths' never illuminated from the pulpit. I learned a lot, and I thank you.. “There are hurts that go on and on .” “13:2“There are hurts that go on and on .” Doug Park “13:24” is an intriguing novel of child abuse/molestation, murder for vengeance, religious hypocrisy, identity theft, trauma survival, goth-rock, and a number of other things.

I disagree with the person whose review asked what audience would read this. Anyone with an interest in the effects of child abuse, anyone who likes a high intensity rapid page turning crime story, anyone who likes a well written tale would find this novel riveting Enjoy is too weak a description. It is based on a real but troubling issue that needs to be looked at honestly. I'd like it for that reason alone but it is also a good read.

The characters are varied, with plausible motivations, often deeply rooted in their pasts. Through their actions, reactions and decisions, an absorbing Biblical mythology comes to life within a modern underworld of human trafficking.
