Description: "While having a seemingly harmless glass of tea at a bazaar in Istanbul, Meredith Fitzgerald, a beautiful soon-to-be married American doctor finds her privileged world turned upside down. It takes only seconds. As she's waiting for the police to come collect an abandoned gypsy girl left in her keeping, Meredith's vision starts blurring ... and she recognizes the chloral hydrate in the tea taking hold of her body ... a confusing scenario grows yet more frightening as Meredith realizes that, like two and a half million women and children worldwide, she too has been abducted and swept into the dark world of the human sex trade. We watch in horror as the once confident, self-reliant doctor finds herself trafficked to Mumbai and trapped in a brothel compound where she's expected to work as the doctor. But maybe, just maybe she's not as helpless as she appears."--Description from www.amazon.com.
