Sex trafficking is currently a hot news topic, but it is not a
new problem or just a problem in "other" countries. Every year, an
estimated 300,000 American children are at risk of being lured into
the sex trade, some as young as eight years old. It is thought that
up to 90 percent of victims are never rescued.
Stolen is the true story of one survivor who escaped--more
than once. First recruited while staying with her family at a hotel
in Miami Beach, Katariina Rosenblatt was already a lonely and
abused young girl who was yearning to be loved. She fell into the
hands of a confident young woman who pretended friendship but
slowly lured her into a child prostitution ring. For years
afterward, a cycle of false friendship, threats, drugs, and
violence kept her trapped.
As Kat shares her harrowing experiences, readers will quickly
realize the frightening truth that these terrible things could have
happened to any child--a neighbor, a niece, a friend, a sister, a
daughter. But beyond that, they will see that there is real hope
for the victims of sex trafficking. Stolen is more than a
warning. It is a celebration of survival that will inspire.
There is hope, even on the darkest of days
Katariina Rosenblatt was a lonely and abused young girl, yearning
to be loved, wanting attention. That made her the perfect target.
On an ordinary day, she met a confident young woman--someone Kat
wished she could be like--who pretended to be a friend while slowly
luring her into a child trafficking ring. A cycle of false
friendships, threats, drugs, and violence kept her trapped.
As Kat shares her harrowing experiences, her ultimate escape, and
her passionate efforts to now free other victims, you'll see that
not only is sex trafficking happening frighteningly close to
home--it's also something that can be stopped. Stolen is a
warning, a celebration of survival, and a beacon of hope that will
inspire you.
