When Robert Meek set off for the verdant onion fields in Northern Mexico, he had no idea that this trip would be any different than over one hundred other trips he had made to Latin America. But within 48 hours of his arrival, he would be kidnapped and held for ransom by a ruthless Mexican drug cartel.What ensued was a horrific descent into a real-life nightmare of emotional terrorism at the hands of the most evil men Robert had ever encountered. Their constant threats and taunts chipped away at his hope to the point of utter despair. But just as he was about to abandon himself to certain destruction, a series of miracles began to unfold, leading to a conclusion he never could have imagined.This is his story. Yes, it is a story of terror and despair, but it is also a story of faith and hope and love. It is impossible to go through something like this without experiencing all the good and all the evil that exists in the world. One more chance was what Robert Meek prayed for during his captivity. What he didn't realize was how many others would be similarly impacted by the answer to that prayer.
