Slave Girl

Abducted by Traffickers. Sold as a Sex Slave. This Is My True Story.

De: Sarah Forsyth, Tim Tate

Narrado por: Charlie Sanderson

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.

Awareness

The sex trafficking trade is still going on heavily. What can I do to help? I want to help

Loved the accent

Interesting story, unfortunate situation for a young woman trying to make a living and got tied up with this group.

Sadly gripping

I liked the raw truth of the whole story more people should read this. It’s a very good true story with an excellent reader! Thanks for surviving

Very sad and eye opening story

A very frank story of Sarah’s horrifying young life. Told very well and easily understood.

eye opening!

so tragic! I read this book like I was watching a train wreck in slow motion.......horrific to think this is still going on in cities all over the world!

Us men have failed.....look at what we do with our freewill 💔

Unbelievable

I titled this review “unbelievable” because I’m still absolutely overcome with shock, sadness, and empathy for what this poor woman has endured. Most of us are fortunate enough to view human trafficking and the sex trade through a sympathetic, but distant lens. Sarah’s story was so well told and provided so much insight into this diabolical world. It evoked so much emotion! Very important book, I highly recommend.

Very eye opening and heartbreaking

She laid her heart bare and told the story well. I would love to know how to learn whether Amsterdam is still this corrupt or whether it has been cleaned up. It seems awful they only arrested 5. I think the only improvement would have been a map and some photos of these places she discusses. If there are photos in the book, they are not in the electronic version.

I am disgusted with myself

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.

Excellent. Moving 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.

Terrific!!

This book is a bit heartbreaking well it's definitely heartbreaking but worth listening to and it's so well written God bless her wherever she is
