It is extremely moving, you will not be disappointed." -- Boekie's Book Reviews "Heart wrenching and well written" -- Can't Put It Down "This story is utterly heartbreaking. Some of the things that happen to Elena are truly horrific but somehow she never quite loses hope that she will be reunited with her daughter again. Being written in diary form I could see her in my head and I truly felt the things she was going through. I am not ashamed to admit I was in tears in places." -- Wistful Kimmie's Book Reviews

This is a book that must be read. It is the story of Elena who is kidnapped and trafficked to work in the sex business. It is a dark, hard-hitting story that pulls no punches. Written in the first person, in the form of a diary similar in style to the Diary of Anne Frank, it takes the reader right into the mindset of Elena. The reader shares her distress, her worries, her pain, and her fears. It succeeds on all levels as a story and I wouldn't be surprised if it became a classic.
I have no hestation in recommending this. Sibel Hodge is a writer to watch.

This is the first book I have read by Sibel Hodge and follows a different track from her usual chick lit genre (which I have now downloaded samples to try).
It follows the tale of Elena from Moldova who is tricked by her best friend into thinking she is going for a better life for herself, her mother and her young daughter in Italy when infact she is going to be a sex slave.
Written in a diary format you can feel the emotion in Elena as if it were a real diary. This book may be fiction, however this sort of thing does happen in real life to many women.
Definitely worth a read for the insight into these thousands of poor women who are taken from their homes and thrown into a life of violence where they are too scared to try and escape for fear of what will happen to the families they left behind.

I have just finished this book and have to say I agree with everything that has been said about it. I feel that it is a book that everyone should read especially now as trafficking is big business. I know that trafficking goes on but I did not realise to what extent and quite what is involved. This book is about a young woman who is tricked into accepting the offer of a better life only to find herself forced into prostitution a long way from her friends and family. Her situation can only be described as desperate and this book is her diary.
I think it is extremely well written and certainly a lot different to the 'chick lit' books written by this author. I would recommend anyone to read this book as I think it is an eye opener. It certainly was for me.

Didnt keep me enthralled
You could tell this book wasn't a personal account, it was written well,but didn't keep me interested as much as personal memoirs usually do, it was very vague.
