This is such an amazing book. I'd heard a little about Tim Ballard and his organization, but the reality of what he and others do to save so many children in horrific situations is very eye-opening. Not only do you learn a lot about present day slavery, but readers will also get a more clear picture about slavery in America's early history and during the Civil War. This book is clearly written for adult readers, especially because of the material discussed in the book about sex-trafficking all over the world.

"We can’t solve this problem overnight, but by just saving one child, we can give them back the life that God intended for them"...Tim Ballard

These true stories from the past and present are so compelling and gut-wrenching it was hard to put the book down. There are many things you'll read in this book that will shock you and also hurt your heart. Many of the words in this book are very inspiring about how all people can help by serving others in need. We can all find ways to help others by getting involved in Ballard's organization or other good causes. This non-fiction book has great writing that reads like a novel but you know what you're reading is real, brutal, and disgusting. There are many moments in the book that bring you to tears. I really loved the chapter that told more about President Abraham Lincoln and how he received divine help as he led our country during the American Civil War.

I recommend this book to you and I also urge you to read more about O.U.R. and their mission to end sex-trafficking and save children throughout the world, including the USA.
