Trafficking post #3

What is happening in your book? How do you think it will pan out?


  • The book I am reading is called Trafficked. It is about a young girl who leaves her country in search of new found freedom and happiness in America. When she first decides she wants to leave, she goes and talks to a social worker to get paper work done. After she gets this done, she is set and ready to go. The book starts out with Hannah waiting in line at the airport check in counter for passports and papers. She was very nervous because she had to play the part of a normal girl just looking to go somewhere else in her life. The social worker gave her a new name and identity of which she had to act out. She passed through successfully and was sent on her way to America. When she landed she looked for a while for someone holding a sign for her. She found a man who was seemingly normal. When the two finally got back to her host-house, she met his wife and two children, a boy and a girl. The mother of the family was rude to her from the start for an unknown reason to Hannah. Eventually, as the story progresses little by little, Hannah is put into a hard place. The mother of the family is asking to see her papers. She wants to make sure her papers and folder are legitimate. Hannah is scared to death because she does not want them to find out that she lied to get access into the country. The mother never does stop being mean to Hannah, she only serves her minimal food and barely lets her be in the house. This is as far as I have gotten in the story. From here on, I believe that the story will really pick up. I think that Hannah is starting to get the idea that something is not right with this family. Hannah will be shipped off somewhere unbeknownst to her and the trafficking will begin. I think that Hannah will be stuck for while where she is at, but eventually will try to break free. I am hoping for a happy ending for Hannah, because no one deserves to be treated that way.
