My Review ~

After surviving preposterous torture in a North Korean prison camp where she was born, Mee-Kyong escapes only to be sold into the Chinese underworld. Her story is one of extreme oppression, insurmountable torment and abuse. Life as she knows it is survival through her own will and determination to live. This is a story of human trafficking and sex trade in its rawest form. This is written with a strong Christian conviction, but the realities of the abhorrent and inhumane treatment of young girls and women around the globe are not to be denied. There is no graphic sexual content, but there is some violence in this realistic portrayal of young Mee-Kyong and others like her. This story could not be told without depicting some of the violence that accompanies this topic.

Alana Terry is to be commended for her sensitivity and strong Christian convictions, composing another story of the gruesome realities of a practice that has reached mammoth proportions. The inhumanity relating to these atrocities exists around the globe. Ms. Terry describes the topic with an openness that is brutally honest and indisputable, but she is careful not to cross the line into forbidden territory in Christian writing. As in "The Beloved Daughter" the author conveys  the message regarding human trafficking in truth and honesty, sharing the inner strength and sheer willpower of a her character in a brilliant manner. I highly recommend "Slave Again." The exposure that is provided by Ms. Terry's writing is a testament to the existence of an intolerable condition.
