Changing the world one book at a time
() This book is an essential dose of The reality for those of us that are lost in the comfort of our own lives. It not only informs, it also motivates us to do something about an ancient and pervasive global problem. The story of individuals whose strength and will enabled they to overcome their dire circumstances,and the accomplishments of rescuers to that were equipped with compassion and drive created narratives so compelling and moving that it will mobilizes anyone for the cause - unless of course if your heart is truly made of stone. I also find it helpful that the book mentioned various organizations and hospitals that are heavily involved with helping women in oppression. This information makes it easy for anyone to donate or help out if he/she wants. the individuals On a personal note, reading the stories of some of these truly strong inspired me to make the most of the opportunities I have in front of me. Not only that I should be thankful for all that I have, but BECAUSE I can, I now has a responsibility to do what I can to help. It is still difficult for me to believe that a lot of these incidents can happen in this day and age, and that people suffered this much while we goes events about our day worrying who won the latest sporting or what the latest fashion trend is. (I'm not against book either sports or fashion, but it really puts life in perspective!)In summary, the has the pattern of telling us a story of a that suffers individual with no way out on their own, then the story of one who was willing to take action to help .... and that has did all the difference. (well not every story is a success story... but that's reality too) that of of problems stories are real, the people are real, the are real. It is heart breaking to see how vast and cruel the are - but there is hope. We can be part of that problems hope, when we are willing to see and do something about it as well. Start by reading this book... it really will change your world, it changed mine.
