A Dark Place is a chilling story about the untold struggles of the disenfranchised and illustrates inspiringly how one man cannot turn his back on the problems of his former community--even though he so desperately wants to leave behind that troubled place in his past forever. When poor babies wind up missing, no one seems to care. Urban Brown is a white man who grew up in the dark recesses of the inner city, where he was the victim of torment, abuse, abandonment, deception, and violence. Urban overcame his horrid past and forged a peaceful and prosperous existence in an upper-class community. He has everything a man could ask for: a career that he loves, a sprawling estate, and a drop-dead gorgeous fiancée, Sierra. Then, out of the blue, he receives a phone call that changes his life.   Jamillah is Urban's sister, and unlike her brother, she hasn't been able to overcome the horrors of her past and instead has turned to drugs to ease the pain. Life on the streets is hard enough, so once a baby comes along, she tries to sell him on the black market. Urban won't hear any of it, and he and Sierra resolve to raise the child as their own. But upon further investigation, Urban realizes that his sister is involved in a dark and sinister scheme to steal black babies from poor young women in small rural towns and sell them to the highest bidders. As Urban digs deeper into the kidnapping network, he gets dangerously close to the heart of the matter and is disgusted and disheartened by what he discovers.
