    About this ebook

    Bringing Jane Home is the story of a father who goes through hell to be reunited with his estranged daughter and his efforts to bring her home from the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil.

    Josh Freeman, ex-Navy Swift Boat machine-gunner and Montauk, NY, charter boat captain loses his wife, Mary, during a storm on a fishing trip with his daughter Jane aboard. Jane blames her father and leaves home while Josh falls off the wagon. His neighbor, Willie Miles, is worried that his daughter Sara, Jane's best friend, is hanging out with the wrong crowd. Sara and Jane are keeping company with a Russian mobster named Dimitri "Spider" Solomon who lives in the Little Odessa neighborhood of New York City. Things heat up for Spider when Federal ATF agents come after him for illegal cigarette trafficking. Spider and his gang head to South America, with Sara and Jane in tow, renting a luxury yacht in Belém, Brazil, at the mouth of the Amazon River. Willie begs Josh to find the girls and bring them home. Josh follows a lead he uncovers in Little Odessa and travels to Belém .

    The action is fast and furious. Josh tangles with both the mobster leader, Spider, and modern-day Braziian river pirates. He will go to any lengths to free his daughter and her friend, and eventually bring them home.

    David Barton

    Hi, I'm David Barton PhD. I am a husband and father to three beautiful girls. I live in New Zealand and was born in South Africa. I have studied, Counselling and Psychology and have a PhD in Psychology from the University of Otago, Dunedin. I had a life changing event at the end of 2018 when I got diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. The cancer was widespread. It also got into my spine and paralyzed me for a time. Recovery was hard, but now I am cancer free and walking, even running again. As a Christian I put me faith and trust in God. My recent books reflect this as I have written extensively about my journey to survive and what God has taught me along the way.
