‘They took me because I would not be missed’

This is the shocking true story of how an ordinary young girl was kidnapped off the street as she walked home and turned into a slave – before fighting for her freedom and finding the courage to help the police in one of the UK’s most shocking modern-day slavery trials.

Anna was an innocent student when she was kidnapped, beaten and forced into the sex slave industry. Threatened and tormented by her pimps, she was made to sleep with thousands of men. But she would not allow them to break her. On learning that she would be trafficked from Ireland to Dubai, she found the courage to trick her captors and flee. Later, she would also find that same resilience to help the police bring down her abductors in what has now become one of our biggest windows into the worldwide sex trafficking trade.

For the first time, the girl at the centre of the storm reveals the heart-breaking truth.

Ratings and reviews

This book was very real and raw, and I couldn't put this book down. I applaud Anna for telling her story, knowing it was a difficult story to tell. This book took on a plethora of emotions as I was reading it...from absolute anger, to tears, hope, fear, shock and even encouragement. This was a young woman who was beyond hopelessness to fighting back and making real change in the laws! Amazing!! I would definitely encourage everyone to read it I too hope and pray someday we can put a stop to human trafficking!!!

Wow what an amazing woman Anna is. So so brave telling her story and also bringing her kidnappers/pimps to justice. Highly recommended read.

very sad but interesting and brings exceptional light to a very serious crime that does not get the recognition it needs. 10 out of 10
