This book was so hard to read. I cannot imagine a crime worse than sex trafficking, and this book hit all the worst parts: praying on underage girls, sending them places they cannot communicate and telling them that going to the police will not help, intimidation, using girls that are orphans with no family to look for them or have no resources to rely on, taking advantage of girls that want only a better life (traveling to another place with the promise of a job, etc). Its just horrific the proportions of the sex trade, that it is SO widespread and there are enough "buyers" to keep it that way. It hurts. It makes me want to cry. And to help. I feel that this book was very well done and while it gave a happy ending to something that usually doesn't have one, it also addresses a situation that doesn't end as happily. The author I think wrote a bit to much is a style that would have made my 9th grade English teacher yell "show, don't tell!" but it was well paced and I got used to it. I think it was most jarring in the beginning when he just completely skimmed over the deaths of the girls family. It was a good read, but it is just heartbreaking to know this is going on every day and most people, myself included, have no idea and do nothing about it.
