Stolen

The True Story of a Sex Trafficking Survivor

By: Katariina Rosenblatt, Cecil Murphey

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Sex trafficking is currently a hot news topic, but it is not a new problem or just a problem in "other" countries. Every year, an estimated 80,000 American children are lured into the sex trade, some as young as eight years old. It is thought that up to 90 percent of victims are never rescued.

Stolen is the true story of one survivor who escaped—more than once. First recruited while staying with her family at a hotel in Miami Beach, Katariina Rosenblatt was already a lonely and abused young girl who was yearning to be loved. She fell into the hands of a confident young woman who pretended friendship but slowly lured her into a child prostitution ring.

For years afterward, a cycle of false friendship, threats, drugs, and violence kept her trapped. As Kat shares her harrowing experiences, listeners will quickly realize the frightening truth that these terrible things could have happened to any child—a neighbor, a niece, a friend, a sister, a daughter. But beyond that, they will see that there is real hope for the victims of sex trafficking.

Stolen is more than a warning. It is a celebration of survival that will inspire.

Shocking , Enlightening and Hopeful

It is shocking how easy for kids to fall prey to crafty sex traffickers. The sad thing is that in some cases we parents put our kids in danger when we don't pay attention to how we rise them.
I like that the story goes into details on pitfalls kids run into to end up in the sex trade. It also brings into light measures that can be taken to prevent and rescue these kids including faith based solutions.
The more we're aware of this and other issues like it there's hope that we can make a dent in rescuing and solving these problems.

Breathtaking

*reader notice, of graphic details of abuse and prostitution
An absolutely breathtaking tale of a girl’s journey through abuse, then human traffic and sex slavery. A must-read to educate yourself, to protect others, and being justice

From Trafficking to Bible Thumping

The story was sad but powerful. Then it became heavier and heavier with professing love for God. I wish I had known it would be a religious story so I could’ve skipped it. I think the story could’ve been told without such heavy religious pushing. The book was a good bait and switch. It started off as what I expected but the halfway through turned into a book about how God saved her life and God was great, and God this and that. I think you get the picture. A moving story if you can get past the religious rain.

An eye opener for sure.

Well written and good information about how child trafficking works and can happen anywhere and to anyone.

Powerful and relevant

No more that ever we need testimony like Kattarina’s. Thank you for your courage. God bless you.
