Haunting, terrifying, unspeakable horror. Despite the revulsion, the book was beautifully written in free verse. The subject matter is irrevocably scarring, yet the author somehow produced a work of art and allowed the story to be heard. I am grateful that she had the courage to tell the important truth of what goes on outside of this cocoon we call the United States of America; "we, the people", are so ignorantly fortunate. I am not blinded to the fact that sexual slavery has become a worldwide epidemic, slowly creeping into every nation. However, it just makes it evermore shameful that these innocent girls' families have an active role in such crimes against their own flesh and blood.
