Book Release


The Sacred Bath: An American Teen's Story of Modern Day Slavery in an Upper Class Mid-West Neighborhood
Author: Theresa L. Flores

"Author Theresa Flores shares her story of trafficking and slavery while living in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit, MI. At fifteen years of age, she was drugged, raped and tortured for two long years. Kept in bondage, forced to pay back an impossible debt. All the while living at home, attempting to keep her family safe and attending school during the day along side of her abusers. Only to be called into "service" late each night, while her unknowing family slept soundly. Involuntarily involved in a large underground criminal ring, she was mainpulated, coerced and threatened. Enduring more as a child than most adults will ever face as a lifetime.

The Sacred Bath discusses how Ms. Flores healed the wounds of sexual servitude and offers advice to parents and professionals on preventing this from happening to their children. She also educates and gives facts on Human Trafficking in Modern Day America. "
