During the days of slavery, abolitionists like Theodore Weld subpoenaed the conscience of the nation by having former slaves tell the horrific raw stories of their treatment. In like manner, Alisa Jordheim is shaking the status quo with the stories told by those formerly trafficked through sex slavery in this book. If you don’t think human trafficking is happening where you live, think again! If you’re concerned about this book disturbing your peace, remember, those bound in sex slavery have no peace. The truth makes us free, and may this book free us from denial and release us into action.

Ms. Jordheim’s book is timely, emotional and grounded in research and personal experience. Through her words, the public sees how the pimps spot and then prey on our vulnerable children. But she doesn’t leave us there, she draws attention to the preventive and restorative services that are necessary for children who are victims of commercial sexual exploitation.”

Made in the USA is a compelling, heartbreaking, and breathtaking account of the lives that have been detrimentally affected by the travesty of trafficking. The factual connection of pornography being tied to trafficking is accurately portrayed in Alisa’s real-life accounts. Until pornography is addressed widely in creating the demand for trafficking, a dent will never be made in tackling trafficking. I highly recommend that everyone read these tragic victims’ stories, that are happening in our own neighborhoods. This is a worldwide problem now, in which everyone can help. Alisa’s book captures exactly the reason why we do what we do.

Sex trafficking is a horrific crime that is increasing in our nation and globally. It is a topic that is difficult to read about and to discuss. But the reality is, all must gain understanding of this grievous issue in order that solutions can be discovered and the victims of this industry set free. In Made in the USA, Alisa Jordheim does an exceptional job of captivating the reader into the truths of the dark world of trafficking. While it is not easy to hear these stories, I encourage each of you reading this book to pass this message on to your family, friends, coworkers, and church family. Thank you, Alisa, for sounding a clarion call, for standing for freedom for these victims, and contending for justice.
