TRAFFICKED
a young girls mission to survive
History
The book Trafficked by Kim Purcell was banned because of the extreme detail in physical abuse, sexual aspects, and verbal misconduct. The long lists of ISD in the United States fought for this book to be banned, and in some schools it was successful.
THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE BANNED
I have come to believe that censoring books should not be done. This book was beneficial to my learning and broadened my horizons and opinions on trafficked young girls. This book has taught me about a life that many live and has showed me how grateful I am. If this book was censored, I can understand that they could censor it for the grave detail, but the book in itself is a book that is a need to read.
Writing the book...
Kim Purcell wrote this book after she researched human trafficking. She felt the need to share this information that she learned amongst everyone through words. The book she wrote is not based off of any true story, but it similar to the many stories that have occurred before. She wanted to show young girls how much worse life could be and how easy it is to be tricked into being sold on the black market. This read has taught me those exact points.
