Kudos to Valerie Maarten for writing about the subject of sex slavery, which is hardly ever in the media, and yet is big business all over the world. In fact, it's going on right under your nose right now.In this case, a young girl made a mistake of trusting the wrong person on the internet. He was grooming young Maia to get her away from her mother, and resulted in dire consequences. These things happen all too often in real life, and it's a real wake-up call. Maia is kept as a sex slave for 6 years until the opportunity arises to escape. Taking her life in her hands, and the lives of other slaves, Maia takes her chance for freedom to gain the life she should never have lost in the first place. It's a gripping read, but very non-graphic.
