In this powerful true story, Theresa Flores shares how her life as an All-American, 15-year-old teenager was enslaved into the dangerous world of sex trafficking while living at home with unsuspecting parents in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit. Theresa also shares how her faith enabled her to endure these horrific events in her life. She writes:

“I firmly believe that God knew the limits of what I could endure. He had a greater plan for my life.”

Even more importantly, Theresa’s story and expertise as a counselor and licensed social worker help identify red flags that could prevent her plight from becoming the fate of an unsuspecting teenager. She shares how God healed her wounds of sexual servitude and offers advice to parents and professionals through prevention tips, education and significant information on human trafficking in modern day America.
