Quotes by Pat Spencer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Most Americans believe human trafficking is a problem only in poor and underdeveloped countries, too far away to be our concern. However, statistics report over 50,000 slaves in the United States, with another 17,500 being trafficked every year. There has never been a country or time in history when it did not occur. If this book stimulates conversation that makes a difference for any of these children, I am satisfied with its results.”
