The Way of Escape: The True Story of a Teenage Boy's Miraculous Escape from Sex Traffickers and a Healing Journey of Recovery (links to Amazon)​

Review:
“It is rare that society gets a glimpse into the horrors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking through the eyes of a child. This courageous author guides his readers in understanding the complex underground world of human sex trafficking. The story looks into a form of trafficking and abduction from which only a few have survived and escaped. Mr. Tennant’s account captures the torment of survival during sexual exploitation and his struggle to maintain his faith along the way.”
Ena Lucia Mariaca, Researcher on Human Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation and Child Sexual Abuse

" from which few have survived and escaped " this is where I am stuck in my mind. I tell myself that I am living my life for all of the ones who can not. I am supposed to chase after the joys and wonders of being alive, but I do not feel worthy. I imagine more of us have that in common. I will definitely look into this book, but I know it's gonna be a long read for me.

Yup. I understand that feeling of unworthiness. I wonder if any of the kids that I met and some with whom I had a connection survived. I just can’t read stuff at this point. Way too. Activating for me.

For me, it is good to know that others have survived. I don’t feel like I am living my life for those who didn’t survive. There is something beyond my understanding that propels me forward. But, I do think of the kids I knew, often.

I will definitely look into this book,

still haven't bought the book. it's on the list of books i may never get to. i still got time tho.

. I don’t feel like I am living my life for those who didn’t survive.

i feel this need to make something with my chance at life, fueled by guilt or defeat. i tell myself someone else would do so much more with life than me. i know i can't give the hours and years away to someone deserving. i just don't feel deserving.
