Renting Lacy

A Story of America's Prostituted Children (A Call to Action)

By: Linda Smith

Narrated by: Moe Egan

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.

Hard, But Essential

Although this book is hard to hear, I recommend it to everyone (even teenage girls) because the more you know, the more you can do to make a difference. Ignorance is NOT bliss when it comes to sex trafficking.

Excellent

Powerful stories that need to be heard. Great audio book, and love the commentary from the author and others.
