Faith-Filled Fiction at its Best!
Denver, 1910: Stolen returns to Denver and Palmer House—a most extraordinary refuge for young women rescued from prostitution—and to the lives of Rose Thoresen, Joy Thoresen Michaels, and their unorthodox “family.”

Taking up where The Captive Within leaves off, Stolen finds Mei-Xing safe, but after six harrowing months of captivity, Mei-Xing stuns those who love her when she returns to Palmer House with child. If Su-Chong’s mother, Fang-Hua Chen, discovers that her son, now dead, has left behind a child, will she allow Mei-Xing to keep him—or will she set in motion plans to steal him away? Will O’Dell, Martha Palmer, Minister Liáng, and others concerned for the safety of Mei-Xing and her child be forced to face off with those who would see Mei-Xing and the work of Palmer House destroyed?

Stole My Heart, Stole My Breath
This book examines the reaction of faith in the face of extreme trial. Vikki Kestell knows and writes about true Christianity, and her characters exemplify this. I have no choice but to finish the series. These characters and their story have become too much a part of my life not to care what happens next.

This is the best I've ever read
You must get the series. This is the best I've ever read.

Vikki holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technologies. She left a career of twenty-plus years in government, academia, and corporate life to pursue writing full time. "Writing is the best job ever," she admits, "and the most demanding."

Also an accomplished speaker and teacher, Vikki and her husband Conrad Smith make their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. To keep abreast of new book releases, visit her website, http: //www.vikkikestell.com/, or find her on Facebook, http: //www.facebook.com/TheWritingOfVikkiKestell.

This series of books are my all time favorite and I wish I could give copies of the series to all my loved ones. They show what it looks like to be a Christian. This is the second time reading through them and I couldn't put them down this time either. Vikki Kestell makes her characters so real, you feel as though you know them and expect them to come through the door at any time. What I love most though is how she makes the Lord the center and the life of these books. The various characters are in different stages of their walk with the Lord; some are unsaved, others are new believers, some are mature in their faith. Through the daily lives of the people we see how the Lord intends for His children to live - both during good times, hard times and tragedy. We're shown how the Lord woos them, saves them, and guides their daily lives; encouraging, comforting, strengthening, and disciplining them. We see to the amazing way He is in control of all things, working all things out according to His will. These books will make you angry, make you cry, make you laugh, and make amazed anew at our Lord. They'll strengthen your faith. and make you eager to do more for your Lord. To me, these books are a shining example of Christian fiction at it's very best. Once you start reading this first book in the series, you won't want to stop until you've read them all - and you'll still want more! (first read series in January 2016)

I anxiously awaited this book to learn what would happen with the characters in this series of books. I was not disappointed. Now I am waiting the final installment in the fall. The spiritual message of this book is woven as an integral part of each character and well delivered. Without spoiling for the reader, one loose end was finished. As life goes on in Denver and Riversbend I continued to be vested in the lives and events of Rose, Joy, Grant, O'Dell. Liang, Mai Xing and the ladies of Palmer House. Read this book and you will read the series. Better yet read all 5 books you won't be able to put them down. I have enjoyed reading several of them over.

Oh my goodness! I finished this book within a few days, and for the last week every time I sit down I'm looking for my Kindle so I can find out what happens next, then remember....I have to wait for the last book!!!! Uuuuuugh! Vikki is really good at building up to the next book, and I don't know if I can stand the wait till November!

As always, she captures the audience emotionally. I laugh out loud, gasp in alarm and cry along with these characters, who are so vividly described that I feel like I really know them. I find myself so excited to see what's happening with my old friends and falling in love with the new characters as the family at Palmer house does as well. I was very pleased that this book also brought back in some of the older characters back up in Nebraska! I really look forward to the conclusion of this series with mixed emotions, since finally getting to the end also means there will be no more!

Anxiously awaiting the next book!!!

Wonderful characters and enthralling plot. It can be a bit over the top with biblical quotes, so if that's not something you enjoy then this series might not work for you. Personally I'm enjoying the biblical references. Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars STOLE MY HEART, STOLE MY BREATH
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018

In Stolen (Book 5), there was opportunity for me to get to know better the many new characters and situations introduced in The Captive Within (Book 4). The intrigue of those designing a web of evil in which to trap and torment the people (characters) I had grown to love was balanced with glimpses of the daily lives, happiness, and apprehension of those good people. The suspense was more of a how-when-what, rather than who, "dunnit." When "it" happened, it took my breath away. I felt such a part of the lives of the residents of Palmer House and of O'Dell, Liang, Carmichael, and Mrs. Palmer--but especially Joy and Rose--that I was surprised how palpably I felt the anguish of these people when the "serpent" struck his blow. This book examines the reaction of faith in the face of extreme trial. Vikki Kestell knows and writes about true Christianity, and her characters exemplify this. I have no choice but to finish the series. These characters and their story have become too much a part of my life not to care what happens next.

Learned a lot about Chinese traditions from this book! Too bad that they do not, on the whole, realize that all babies have equal love in Jesus Christ! The implications are provided within these pages. I am looking forward to the next book in this series! Read these books, I promise you will not be disappointed

This series just keeps getting better and better!
I love the scripture verses and excerpts from Rose’s journals. I can honestly say that my faith in Jesus Christ has grown since I started reading this series. The lives of all the ladies (and men) become even more perilous as those seeking to harm them get closer.

This is one of the best Christian series that I have read. I can not put them down. The most prominent message is God's love for us. The cast of characters, what can I say. Is there a happy ending for Esther and Connor?
