This story has a religious leaning - the rescuers are all missionaries, and everyone prays for deliverance - but it's a well-told story.
I was disappointed that there was no section at the end with resources and recommendations for what I can do to help, so I googled it. Here is the State Department's list of 20 Ways You Can Help Fight Human Trafficking.

DNF - the writing quality distracted from the story & I couldn’t get into it

Sad, but not too detailed
Started out seeming like I didn’t know if what I was reading was true or not. But the story and characters kept me hooked until the very end. I liked that even though it’s about sex trafficking there wasn’t explicit details. As the story goes on, God’s faithfulness is shown and I liked that!

It's been a long time since I've read a book in one day!
