YA Novel Offers Awareness/Prevention of Sex Trafficking
I close my
eyes and pretend I’m not me anymore. I try not to smell his stale breath on my
face or feel what he’s doing to me. It’s over quickly, and this one doesn’t
want to stay. He stands, zips his pants, and leaves. He’s the last one of the
day.
The
shift seems harder than usual, and my skin crawls worse with each new man who
enters my motel room. I want to leave, to run, but Tommy’s thug is standing
guard out in the parking lot.
And
if he leaves, there’s always someone else. Always. There’s no chance of escape.
Ever.
A harrowing tale of a high school
senior who’s headed for college, but suddenly finds herself the victim of sex
trafficking. Based on true-life accounts of survivors, Heather’s story reveals
a dark and dangerous world where you can trust no one.
Will she survive?
