Starting with Katariina's childhood, this book tells a true story about how a girl was forced to become a woman far too early. We sit with her at the hotel pool while her mom works. We feel the loneliness. We fall for the smooth-talking woman who promises to be her friend. Then reality sets in. Katariina is lured into child trafficking. She is forced to sleep with numerous men. She is beaten and force-fed drugs. On more than one occasion, people try to murder Katariina. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Readers will discover how Katariina got out of her personal hell, how she bettered herself, and the work she does now. What's also fascinating is the picture of family life in the book. Katariina does not shy away from discussing her troubled parents, children, and even ex-husband. This book is brutally raw and honest. At the end of the book, there are tips for helping vulnerable victims and even who to contact about freeing children from sex slavery. This book is not suitable for young readers due to the mature nature. Additionally, there are Christian undertones in the book.
