In this powerful true story, Theresa Flores shares how her life as an All-American, blue-eyed, blond-haired 15-year-old teenager who could have been your neighbor was enslaved into the dangerous world of sex trafficking while living in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit. Her story peels the cover off of this horrific criminal activity and gives dedicated activists as well as casual bystanders a glimpse into the underbelly of trafficking. And it all happened while living at home without her parents ever knowing about it. Involuntarily involved in a large underground criminal ring, Ms. Flores endured more as a child than most adults will ever face their entire lives.

I was so unhappy with this book. I thought that it would be eye opening and informing, instead it was just poorly written and lacked credibility.

I found Flores writing to be extremely redundant. Perhaps the book would have been better served as a novelette, and not 300 odd pages long.

I also don't think that some of the events could have actually happened. It seems unlikely that neither her parents or a cop wouldn't see that she had blood on her pjs after being abandoned in the hotel.

I'm sure that something bad did happen to Flores for a prolonged period of time. It's just a pity that her writing was so very poor. It's quite amazing how she was able to overcome such terrible treatment and I feel that her spirit should be respected. (

This book could have been much more powerful with a little bit of good editing. Both the chapters and the sentences were short and choppy, making it difficult for me to get deeply engaged in the book. I also found several typographical errors with the incorrect homonym being used, which is very discouraging.

The book is a troubling look into the reality of human trafficking in the United States. The author was kept as a teenage sex slave in Michigan by classmates from her school. (

This was a short read that was a very emotional ride. A very sad account of one girl's experiences with being forced into being a sexual slave. It was not written as a story but more like a documentary or interview which kind of made it a little dry. However, the message was loud and clear this DOES happen, and it is horrible. What courage this young woman has to expose herself by coming forward. I can't give a thumbs-up to the way it was written but can give one to the message it sends and to the author. (
