The author of this book was doing research to write about human trafficking and spent time talking to many victims of trafficking, people who work with victims of trafficking, and people who come in contact with them or are related to them. It was mainly focused on trafficking in European nations such as Albania, Italy, & England, but there were others as well involved. It was interesting to see how different countries have different laws regarding those who are in prostitution and are sexually exploited. There was one account focused on Bonded Labor slavery while the rest was on sexual slavery. It was quite interesting and very sad. I've read a lot of books that focus on Russia, South-East Asia, Africa, India, and the US so this gave me a new type of environment setting that I got to learn about. It was very informational and had really varied accounts that are worth reading. Good book. Not my favorite (as I've read over 30 human trafficking books) but definitely in the middle of books I enjoyed on that subject.
