As someone who has worked with trafficking survivors in the developing world I am struck by how vividly Kruzans memoir shows us how easily these same atrocities take place barely noticed beneath the sophisticated veneer of life in the US A brilliant and illuminating readLeymah Gbowee 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and author of Mighty Be Our Powers
