The average age of entry into prostitution in America is 13-years-old. Forced into a life they never chose, manipulated, abused, and tortured at the hands of the pimps who control them, our country's children are sold on the streets, on the internet, and at truck stops across America every night. They aren't bad kids who made bad choices. They are victims of child sex trafficking. They come from our neighborhoods, our schools, our churches, and sometimes our own homes.
Author Linda Smith brings to life characters based on real stories and interviews with teen survivors. Meet "Lacy" and "Star" as they reveal the underbelly of our country s commercial sex trade. Get to know the men who sell them, and the ones who buy them. Let Renting Lacy draw you into the lives of these young girls as they struggle to survive each night, watching their childhood hopes and dreams slip away in the darkness. Let it compel you to action.

Gets into the details of the relationships to a degree that I think is really important to understand how the type of pimping covered in this book works, and in a way that a lot of other material about this subject fails to do
Does not censor or try to hide or gloss over sex, violence, and language — important for similar reasons to the above
Written in a compelling way that makes you care about the characters and follow the story easily
Dislikes:
The book is written in narrative form about fictional characters. The author says these characters and events are all based on real people and experiences but you basically have to take her word that she’s taking an appropriate amount of artistic license, as she’s not actually asserting claims that could be challenged or checked. As a person who cares about truth, I feel uneasy about this
Writes with a slight assumption that people reading already agree that prostitution is always bad and that more conservative sexual values are ideal; would have connected with the book slightly more if it had included less of this bias, or maybe included multiple viewpoints. But this is not a criticism of anything that’s central to the book, just a small observation from my own perspective.
Compelling narrative, wish it had more factual claims
