Somebody's Daughter by Julian Sher
Shocking and gritty, this work contains firsthand accounts of terror and abuse from prostituted children--and the law enforcement officers and community activists working to save them. While detailing the necessity for substantive legal and cultural change on the national level in regard to prostitution, pimps, and children's rights, this book also provides encouraging stories of new, pioneering law enforcement initiatives and child-recovery strategies reaping positive results in urban areas inundated with children victimized by sexual exploitation and violence, such as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York City, Phoenix, and Dallas. This updated paperback edition includes a new, four-page afterword by the author, with updates on new laws and initiatives and follow-ups on some of the young women discussed in the book. A call to awareness and action for parents, legislators, and educators, this examination exposes this country's dirty secret.Julian Sher co-wrote Angels of Death and has written for the San Francisco Chronicle, Toronto Globe and Mail, CNN.com, and the New York Times. He is a Canadian citizen.
