Goodreads asked Margaret Dardess:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Margaret Dardess More than a decade ago I met a courageous young woman who had escaped after being trafficked and who was speaking out about human trafficking in hopes of saving others. I was so moved by her story that I set out to learn about ways to combat this terrible scourge on our society. I began reading everything I could find on the subject. When a friend gave me a copy of Passport Through Darkness I became more determined than ever to do something.
Writing the thriller, Brutal Silence, is my attempt at dramatizing human trafficking in a way that I hope will encourage others to learn and become involved. Proceeds from the sale of the book will combat human trafficking. I hope too that those who read the book will pass it along to a friend to raise awareness.
