Non-Fiction Memoir
The haunting, unforgettable memoir that took the UK by
storm, Trafficked is a gripping first-hand account
of a young woman who survived the horrors of human
trafficking. Sophie Hayes, a young, educated English
woman, was spending an idyllic weekend in Italy with her
seemingly charming boyfriend. But the day of her return
home, he made it clear she wasn't going anywhere. Punching
and shouting at her, he threatened to kill her adored
younger brothers if she didn't cooperate to help him pay off
hundreds of thousands of dollars he'd racked up in
debts. Over the next six months, Sophie is forced to
work as a prostitute in a country where she didn't speak the
language, nobody knows her whereabouts, and escape seems
impossible. She struggles to survive, constantly at the
mercy of her boyfriend's violent moods and living in fear of
being killed by any of her customers. When a
life-threatening illness lands her in the hospital, Sophie
has a chance to phone her mother and escape—if her boyfriend
doesn't get to her first. Chilling and captivating,
Trafficked is one of the first memoirs to present a
stunning personal look at the criminal human sex trafficking
trade and bring this disturbingly widespread abuse to light.
