About the Book

Why Read This Book?

Praise for River of Innocents

"The plight of Majlinda is both heart-breaking and courageous. While we took great comfort in the fact that Majlinda is a fictional character, her vividly told story is a very real one which plays out again and again throughout the world today… River of Innocents is a story which could be the story of our mother or sister or father or brother or daughter or son or friend. For this very reason, Majlinda’s story should stand as a global call to arms in the fight against trafficking."
