Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement

Well @leah.reads.writes.drinks told me to run not walk to this one and I understand. In this short book the author accomplishes so much.
She tells a story of a village of women in Mexico who are severely affected by drug and sex trafficking. It really touches on the ways people handle trauma and I cannot recommend it enough.
To keep her daughter safe a mother has her daughter cut off her hair and has her dress as a boy in hopes that it will protect her for the traffickers. The fear is palpable.
It is heavy and has lots of content that may be hard for some people but if you can please check it out. Though it is fictional it is based on a real crisis that is happening.
