In Blank Page, the voices of ten brave survivors of the horrors of human trafficking celebrate hope-and call out for change. Their inspiring stories, together with concise research and practical explanations that span borders and decades, paint a clear picture of the human trafficking reality that affects not only the United States and Mexico, but the world. Rosi Orozco explores the causes, extent, and urgency of the problem, along with the steps and strategies she has used to successfully aid countless young victims on their road to recovery. This book will open hearts and encourage voices to speak out for those who must still be heard.
