The lucky one : a chilling true account of child sex trafficking and one survivor's journey from brutal captivity to a life of freedom / Jenni S. Jessen.
"She was only four years old when she was sold into the sex trade. White picket fences and steepled churches all guarded secrets that were not ever supposed to be told. In kindergarten, she began praying every night that Jesus would let her die. In second grade, she sat in church on a Sunday morning swinging her feet from a wooden pew behind the man who had paid to rape her the night before. Her perpetrators were from all walks of life. An engineer, a police officer, a bait shop owner, business men, farmers, younger men and old; different men all feeding the same lust. The only thing that they had in common was their brutal love for little girls. She shouldn't have survived it. If God had answered her prayers, she wouldn't have. Here is the true account of how she was brought out of captivity and into a life of freedom. Jenni Jessen is a wife, a mama, and a survivor. She and her husband KJ, live in southeast Asia where they founded Compass 31, an organization dedicated to fighting human trafficking. KJ and Jenni provide foster care to teenage mothers and babies rescued from the sex trade"--Page 4 of cover.
