About this listen
She has dealt with her fair share of issues, having raised four children. Drug addiction, school suspensions, suicide scares, childhood disease, and her oldest daughter being gang raped, which led to a teen pregnancy. Finally, they were all young adults, and it seemed as if the worst was behind them until the oldest daughter came home one day and told them something that made their world stop. For months, it was like someone had pushed the slow-motion button on the remote of their lives as they tried to comprehend what their daughter must have gone through without them knowing anything.
Following in her daughter's footsteps, she discovered it is possible to turn pain into purpose by allowing others to walk a mile with her.

The most emotionally impactful part of this book is the fact that the family at the centre of this story is so normal; it really hammers home that anyone can be victimised. Overall, I enjoyed this book, as much as one can enjoy a harrowing experience such as this, and it will stick with me for a while yet how insidious domestic sex trafficking is.
What an awful experience; yet one that is so prudent to discuss.
