#198: Girls Like Us


I actually finished this book a while ago. But...who's keeping track?

If you haven't heard of this book, you should definitely check it out. It's about human sex trafficking, and it gives an honest perspective from a young lady that was trapped in the life for quite some time. It is an amazing story about redemption and the plight of this woman as she strives to reach out to other girls just like her and offer them a different alternative. A freeing alternative.
It's a great story. It's one of those stories that gets your blood pumping, your mind racing and your heart aching. It is a story to be told. And if this book doesn't make you get up off the couch and do something about the atrocities going on in this world, and in our own backyards...well then nothing probably will.
I definitely recommend this book. But be careful...you may just find yourself on an airplane to India (or New York, or some other place that tugs at your heart strings).
