Advance Praise

“A captivating book that highlights the dark world of sexual trafficking and the enduring traumas it has on it’s victims, while also illuminating the incredible human capacity for healing.” - Elizabeth Ngyuen Gutierrez, MD, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist

“Like Logan’s previous book, Finding Lien, this is a realistic cliff-hanger. Not only does the story keep the reader wanting to turn the next page, it brings attention to a very real concern of sex trade in Asia. Logan’s own experiences as a volunteer combating the very conditions described in the book, make this story real in every aspect. It is a fast-paced, heart wrenching story, both fascinating and horrific. - Margriet Ruurs, Award-winning author

“...a powerful journey that questions the darker side of humanity while illuminating the hope embodied in the human spirit.” ~Lynda Crawford, author, Uncomfortably Numb
