Product Description Eight-year-old, Hann'Sha, an innocent, bright-eyed girl full of hope and life, living in a small hut with her family in Calcutta, India, is suddenly sold into sexual slavery by a father so desperate to feed his family that he offers his daughter to human traffickers. For several years she is forced to live a nightmarish life of sexual servitude to men many times her age. One day, an American tourist visiting Calcutta, discovers HannSha, and learns that she is but one of thousands held captive by a criminal underground. Against all odds, corrupt police who turn an eye, lethal traffickers, and HannShas terror of her keepers, he fights to free her. This is a story about one mans courage and a young girls undying hope, a story inspired by an actual six-year-old girl in Calcutta, and is entirely based on facts of what really happens to young children, like Hann'Sha. It is a literary fiction intended to shed light on human trafficking, modern day slavery that exists everywhere and is considered one of the most profitable industries of the civilized world."Written in elegant prose, it is not only about the ills of humanity, but also about hope and optimism...Overall, it is a good thriller..." Alex Markman, AuthorThe only book that gripped my attention in years, thank you for sharing.We (my company) are too sponsoring Christel House which is a World Wide organization for orphans to get schooling and high level education so they dont end up on the street or being trafficked. I did this inspired by your book, so thank you for that and keep up the good work of getting word around. Review It is about saving a twelve years old girl, who was sold by her father to a criminal gang, which business is slave prostitution...In spite of the gruesome subject, the reading is not depressing. Written in elegant prose, it is not only about the ills of humanity, but also about hope and optimism which, as the novella suggests, should be part of our lives no matter what. Overall, it is a good thriller. I give it 4 stars.- Alex Markman, author of Contra-Odessa About the Author I write thrillers in geopolitical, crime and sci-fi genres. I invite the reader to step outside the box of mediocrity, to entertain different perspectives, and possibly, even, to challenge the paradigms that have become accepted "norms" in our world.
