I am not a representative for Shared Hope, but I recently met the founder in the DFW airport and she gave me a copy of her new book: Renting Lacy, A Story of America’s Prostituted Children, copyright 2009.
I urge you to look at her work, if you are not aware of it already. Domestic Child Sex Trafficking and Slavery is a real issue, not only in other countries, but our own. And Linda does a tremendous job of explaining it.
I just thought you should know about this work that she has been doing since 1998 to try to secure the rescue of children from sex slavery as well as working towards seriously undermining the growing demand for this “product” around the world and within the United States…
This could happen to any child and there is no way out without our help!
wishing you great blessings and many thanks for the amazing work you are doing too!!!
