A horrific telling of Anjali's trafficking nightmare from Nepal to the brothels of India, but ultimately uplifting in her rescue, rehabilitation and her plans for the future. Sensitively portrayed, this is a personal telling of an ongoing global problem.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
Trafficking books are always horrifying to read. This was is too but there is so much inspiration too. It's heartbreaking to read about young girls being sold into trafficking by their family or fellow village people. The very same people that are supposed to love you and protect you. The lack of knowledge about the true nature of selling young girls is appalling yet understandable since many of these villages are so remote and poor. I really admire these brave young women who are able to be rescued from trafficking and dedicate their lives to prevent and help future survivors.

An appallingly true story of the sex trafficking of young girls in India and Nepal. Anjali is one of many from Nepal's poorest villages who are preyed upon and tricked into going to India to work, making money for their families. After traveling with one trafficker, after another, she ends up in a brothel in Kolkata, where she is abused by the owners and the multitude of men who rape and force themselves on her day and night.

Anjali is one of the lucky ones. She survives the trauma and is rescued by some of the people who work to help the girls who are imprisoned as prostitutes. Taken back to Nepal, she lives in a home for other trafficked girls, who are also given safety, shelter, friendship, and healing. Anjali goes on to get an education, eventually graduating from high school and going on to college.

An amazing story of a young girl who, against all odds, pursues her dreams to educate Nepalis on the brutality their girls suffer in India and her attempts to end the demeaning practice.

A heartbreaking tale of survival in the world of human trafficking. I wish this book could gain more traction because it's what these survivors and current victims deserve. If you have any questions about what human trafficking is like, this book will answer that.
