Face to face reality of sex trafficking in America through the true story viewpoint of a girl from a small town. Rachel was only nine years old when she was first approached by a perpetrator who was known to her as a teacher and coach. She goes into detail of the process of being groomed and how the evil of what was happening to her in the dark remained unseen by everyone around her. She describes how she coped for so many years by blocking out the memories only to have them resurface when she was an adult with a family of her own. Rachel had no idea that when she would pursue justice it would end up putting her right back in the world of trafficking, but when her church family saw the signs and believed what she was saying that she was able to start the process of finding freedom. She prays for each person who reads her story and that their eyes will be opened and their actions will lead us toward ending sex trafficking in our world.
