HIDDEN HUMANITY exposes in fiction form the hidden truth of human trafficking around us. This Book One by D.I. TELBAT introduces us to a secluded retrieval expert who locates lost people within the human trafficking world, and shines the Light of the Gospel on those who are in need of hope and love.




The story begins in Davenport, Iowa. Teenager Marcy Nevins and her younger brother, Aidan, are sold by their drug-addicted parents into a human trafficking network. Through unimaginable horrors, Marcy clings to the God who delivers, to Jesus who dearly loves children, and to the possibility of rescue.




Global Wares (GLOW) is a fictional human trafficking network that buys, sells, and transports children to the highest bidder. Hiding in plain sight, GLOW scoffs at the prospect of ever being found or stopped...until RefugeGate makes his appearance...




Retrieval Expert Brody Sladrick travels the world alone. For God, he answers the cries of the hopeless, and opens the gate of refuge through his retrieval organization, TROAS, to those who are suffering behind hidden doors. He owns no home and few comforts, but he has learned to use the worldwide network of believers to aid those whom he recovers from wicked traffickers.




Where few others dare to venture, Sladrick recovers the lost, offers them the Gospel of Truth, then disappears into the night. God never loses those who are His!




Extras included: character sketch, glossary, and a teaser for Book Two, Pursued Prodigal.
