Sarah Forsyth has spent most of her life in fear. After overcoming the hurt and heartbreak of a horrific childhood, Sarah managed to build a new life for herself as a nursery nurse.

Then, one day, she spotted a newspaper advert for a job in a crèche in Amsterdam. Excited by the prospect of a fresh start abroad, she eagerly signed up. But within minutes of stepping off the plane in Amsterdam her life began to fall apart....

There was no crèche and no job. That night, at just 19 years of age, her life - her real life, her life as Sarah Forsyth - ended. Fed cocaine and cannabis, and forced at gunpoint to work as a prostitute in the Red Light District of Amsterdam: Sarah was a victim of sex trafficking.

Sarah Forsyth is a survivor. This is her heartbreaking story.

This book is well organized, with an excellent narrator. You think you are listening to the actual person. To me, this is a grown up version of the outstanding book, Violated, by Sarah Wilson. That dealt with the Rotherham Scandal. The ineptness and corruption of the Rotherham police were similar to the local Amsterdam police in this story.

This is so well done, that you actually feel Sarah Forsyth’s pain. I always associated the city Amsterdam, with Anne Frank. It was on my bucket list. No longer. How can such despicable practices be so widespread in that city. Apparently, once ensnared in human trafficking the girls are made so drug dependent, they will probably never be whole again. Those that do become whole, must have a great support system and be very strong willed.

Congratulations to the author for an outstanding book, and to an equally outstanding narrator.

Excellent. Moving story.

Years ago I walked through Amsterdams red light district just to see it. Did not participate. I was under the illusion that the girls were willingly working there. Doing what they decided to do then going home and living a life. I had no idea, how naive I was. After reading this I am so disgusted with myself for being so stupid.
Sarah I am so sorry for what you endured at the hands of those people, those cops and those johns. Bless you Sarah for surviving. The thought of all the girls still suffering at the hands of sick criminals makes me just want to give up on the human race.

I am disgusted with myself

In a world where there are still so many damaging stereotypes of prostituted women and people with addictions, this book is a lifeline. There are so many images of “party girl hookers” and “liberated sex workers,” yet still so few perspectives of people who have actually been trafficked, forced to take drugs, and hand over all the money to abusers. When this happened to me, in my youth, so many people didn’t believe that people can be forced that even when I got away, I didn’t have any way to process what happened or anyone to tell, and that is a very dark place. I can very much relate to going back to the life. There was no way I felt I would ever be able to relate to the world of school kids again, after jumping out of a moving car to escape a killer with a body in the car, and being raped on a daily basis. It took finding a book like this, and a group for survivors, to make sense of my experience and begin to figure out how my past groomed me for commercial sexual exploitation (incest, poverty, colonialism, etc.), what had happened (the hierarchy of prostitution, its relationship to patriarchy and domestic violence), and how I could still have goals for a meaningful future (obtain a GED and work toward a career helping others). Still, there were so few times that I came into contact with others who had existed in the same world. It was terribly isolating. and the drugs that were introduced so early would continue to call to me, promising not to have to think or feel about it, but I would have to go back to that life to get them. I guess you could say Forsyth could have written this book about me! This book will be very important to a new generation, where some forms of sex work are becoming so normalized that the devastating effects of an experience like this could be too easily swept under the rug. I hope that Sarah knows that it is normal that she got back in touch with the girl who lured her into her enslavement. I have done the same, because being a survivor is so, so isolating. I, honestly, see no complicity on either woman’s part. The trafficker is the only one in control in a situation like that. But, then, I don’t think women with Stockholm Syndrome, or who are under the gun, should be legally liable. I think whether or not you will “collude” has only to do with how afraid or how brainwashed you are, in almost all cases. I think we need to show much more understanding of those who have been trafficked. I hope my opinion doesn’t offend other survivors, and I respect their right to see it differently. I have continued to grow and heal, but this book is a break from the isolation, once again. I would love to see healing communities arise, in which there are support groups, shelters, political action groups, retreats, events, etc. where survivors of trafficking can form community, and healing bonds. There used to be something like this where I’m from…there are certainly enough of us! I felt the narration sounded a bit angry and depressed. Most of the women I know who have experienced things like this discuss them more matter of factly, with a bit of ferocity and attitude, when needed. Never do they sound pouty and melodramatic, like this reading. At least, not in my experience, and I’ve attended many speakers and known many women in the life. I loved the book, but thought they could have done better with the narration. What a brave soul, and an excellent book!

As another survivor, I found this to be a brave and beautiful book!

Great narrator. My only regret was that the book was too short. I would have been nice to learn the fate of those horrible men.

Excellent book!

One of the best books I’ve read. To comprehend what has happened to her in her life is unthinkable. The story puts you in her shoes and goes through what her life has been like. I highly recommend this book! I just wanted to save that young girl and stop all of her suffering.

Remarkable
