While all the human trafficking incidents described in this book are true, stories have occasionally been dramatized to convey the tragedy of human trafficking on a personal level. In addition, names and other identifying characteristics have been changed in some instances to protect victims’ privacy and safety.
Whenever a name has been changed to protect identity, an asterisk (*) follows the name when it first appears. Out of respect, all victims’ statements have been quoted verbatim. The author chose not to correct or draw attention to any grammatical errors made by those whose native language is not English.
Some of the material contained in this book is for mature audiences.
