Claiming Innocence

By: JoAnne Michels

Narrated by: Mark Deakins

Claiming Innocence is like no other book you've ever read or listen to. Filled with vivid, memorable characters, it teems with high adventure in times of brutality and duress, offset by strong bonds of love and loyalty.

Mark becomes highly adaptable, driven by revenge through times of extreme violence and life on the run, even taking refuge with a tribe of cannibals. Ultimately a feel-good listen, this is a pause-resister, authored with precision, sensitivity, and care.

Exciting story, loved the characters!

I loved this book! It was exciting, intriguing, and pulled at my heartstrings. I can’t imagine that children actually grow up (how many don’t survive!) in such a horrible, scary, environment! I loved the family love and ties, and the way these children formed friendships and relationships. I would recommend this eye opening book to everyone!

5 STARS and the audiobook is AWESOME!

When I read this book, I just couldn’t put it down. A thrilling and inspiring story and now going to the Philippines is on my bucket list. I love listening to the audiobook and loosing myself in this adventure. I didn’t want the story to end. The reader nails this one. After a few chapters in, you’ll be hooked.
