Human sex trafficking seems to be at an all-time high in the United States of America, to the point it has become an epidemic. Every year, we hear the words sex trafficking and news' stories that seem to be coming out of everywhere no matter how small the city. However, most people including millennial's still do not believe that it is happening in their neighborhood, they believe that this problem comes from overseas when in fact the normal young lady who's being trafficked lives right next door. She goes deep into their lives and explains just how easy it can be for the average girl or boy to be taken without most people being aware.
This book gives the gut wrenching truth into the undercover world of human sex trafficking. She shares her compelling yet authentic story not only giving you real-life inspiring stories of completed rescue missions, also an understanding of what is really happening to our children but providing an eye-opening insight into a world that is right in front of you that is not so undercover.
She also describes ways that we as a community can be on the lookout for what human sex trafficking looks like and begin to know the signs so that we can help a young child get out.
