this book was amazing. a real eye opener to trafficking and the lengths traffickers will go to as well as the incredible strength of the author to escape such a difficult and horrific time. I was truly shocked by the amount of time and effort the trafficker went to.

The misogynistic reviews on this book are atrocious and extremely upsetting. Anyone who says that her own decisions are what caused her to go through such an awful experience clearly have never been in abusive relationships or experienced ANYTHING like she experienced. Victims will not leave their abuser like you think they may, and they do not always make the right decisions. Remember she was in a completely foreign country with no support network for half of it, and she replied to his phone calls once she escaped so that he didn’t KILL HER BROTHERS?! I am so grateful for this book and how eye opening it was, Sophie, you’re an inspiration and I’m so proud of you for achieving something a lot of victims are unable to do.

Very eye opening and real. My heart aches for this woman but what a valuable story she has!

4.5⭐️

This book blew me away! This is a memoir of Sophie who was lured into another country by her so called best friend and he forced her into human trafficking. This book proves a mother's intuition is the God given certainty that we must follow. Sophie tells her story of what happened during her kidnapping and daily beatings and forced prostitution, rain or shine, freezing temperatures, 10 hour work days, and 7 days a week. I am saddened that this takes place in our world today and pray that Sophie can live a normal life or at least as close to normal. Thanks to Sophie's mother for her braveness to not beat the ever loving hell out of this man. I do not even know Sophie and I would live to beat the last breath out of him for what he did, which is out of character for me. I know karma will get that man one day. God bless Sophie.
