When I was nine, I thought I could fly, my dreams were dashed by my foster mother aged sixty-three when she told me I was too fat and too slow. I took her words to heart and, aged fifty, I was morbidly obese, a stay at home mum whose children were getting older, and bored. I wanted to live. I dreamed of walking to Santiago but I couldn’t walk a mile to the shops. My slim, fit partner told me that I would never be able to do it and to stop going on about it. I took his words to heart too, especially when I was diagnosed with diabetes.

But four years later my heart rebelled and I took responsibility for myself. My story looks at the child I was and the woman I became. $0.99 on Kindle.

Talking with our children about human trafficking is essential but figuring out how to do so can be incredibly challenging. I have spent the past decade as a journalist writing about this topic and answering numerous questions posed by diplomats, state officials and, most recently, my seven-year-old daughter.

Children get to the foundation of an issue with amazing unhindered and unabashed curiosity. I want to share our conversation because it quickly gets to the root of people’s common confusions and misunderstandings about human trafficking.

I hope our conversation helps you to talk to your little or big ones about this important topic. Free on Kindle.
