The Slave Across the Street by Theresa L. Flores & PeggySue Wells Book Summary

While more and more people each day become aware of the dangerous world of human trafficking, most people in the U.S. still believe this is something that happens to foreign women, men and children--not something that happens to their own.

In this powerful true story, Theresa Flores shares how her life as an All-American, blue-eyed, blond-haired 15-year-old teenager who could have been your neighbor was enslaved into the dangerous world of sex trafficking while living in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit. Her story peels the cover off of this horrific criminal activity and gives dedicated activists as well as casual bystanders a glimpse into the underbelly of trafficking. And it all happened while living at home without her parents ever knowing about it. Involuntarily involved in a large underground criminal ring, Ms. Flores endured more as a child than most adults will ever face their entire lives.
In this book, Ms. Flores discusses how she healed the wounds of sexual servitude and offers advice to parents and professionals on preventing this from occurring again, educating and presenting significant facts on human trafficking in modern day American.

Great book!!. Heart wrenching story about human trafficking in our backyard. Something must be done!! Must read. True story!!

Eye-Opening MUST READ!. Sexual slavery can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. The story of Theresa L. Flores opens our eyes to the reality of this statement. Theresa’s vivid and detailed account has helped me to understand and reflect upon modern-day slavery and how I can stand as a social activist in my community. Thank you for sharing your story Theresa Flores! A MUST READ!

The Slave Across the Street. I too was a slave of the worst kind. I was a slave in my own home to my father. It was hidden from every other member of my family and I too felt a need to protect them and to protect my families name and honor. Looking back, I wish I had made different choices, but at the time I didn't realize I had choices. I was expected to perform on command. It took years for me to get into therapy, and when I did that therapy went on for years. I have often contemplated writing my story and commend you for making this a public issue. May God bless and protect you and your family.

Eye opening. As a mother of a girl this is very eye opening. She is an adult now and I hope safe but never once did I educate her on these horrible situations and what to do.

The Slave Across the Street. Profoundly disturbing and so important for us all to know how easily these predators can seize control.

Everyone should read this book. So informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing your story.

Must read. This is a book every teacher should read. As a retired teacher and guidance counselor, I wish I had.

Eye Opener!!!. This book has opened my eyes to human trafficking. I am going to be more aware of my surroundings and more in tune to those I encounter. I will pay more attention to the actions of the children in our community. The thought of these things happening to a child is heart wrenching. I am going to have my daughter read this book and discuss it with her after. I want her to be aware and to enlighten her friends to. Thank you for having the courage to open up Pandoras Box. God Bless You

Don’t waste your money. Terrible writing and story line. Completely unhelpful for what the author claims can help identify victims of trafficking.

Unbelievable. This book is one of the best I have ever read. This isn't just a tear-jerker story, it's all real!

Brave author but the book fell very short. The book is poorly written but she is brave for telling her story

Heart wrenching. Wow, how naive am I? Theresa's story was just heartbreaking. I feel for her. I don't know if this is how I would have reacted to the initial rape, I don't know that any teenaged girl would at that moment. And her strength to go on, whoa, it just blows my mind. There is an extra special place in hell for abusers of the children of God!

The slave across the street. A must read ! Not a fun read though, it will break your heart, make you angry as hell and leave you wondering what you can do to help. In the end you will be in awe of the young lady who stepped up to the plate and bared her soul. Theresa, my heart is praying with and for you and all who have been and are slaves. One other thing I know God did protect you and he cried too!

Wow!. Couldn't put the book down. What an eye opener. I work in a high school and I feel that having read this book will make me be more aware. Thank you for sharing your story.

SMH. Hard to read... I was shaking my head.

The Slave Across The Street. I had no idea this was happening here, in America, my eyes have indeed been opened. This book though I wanted to put down, I couldn't. A page turner, definitely .

The slave across the street. Unbelievable and just so sad.

Made me wonder. Well written novel that makes you wonder if it is real or not, OR could happen on my street. Latent Reader

The slave across the street. This is an essential read for anyone working with children. May it be a social worker, teacher or parent. Knowledge is power. This story is heartbreaking but the sad reality is that sex trafficking is so prevalent and it’s important to be aware, know the signs and be educated. The author states many things but what stands out to me is “if you see something, say something.

Eye opening book. It was very informative and honest. It's good to see the truth getting out and prevailing.

The Slave Across The Street. I was abused as a child. This book hit home. All teahers, police, parents, all people should read this. Let’s help stop this trafficking! Best book ever!

The slave across the street. This was a very painful read and it required time away from it. I read it in chapters with time between them. I've had a secure non-traumatic life but I was so able to empathize. It's terribly necessary that all attempt to recognize & help these people if we come across them even casually. As parents we must make certain that our children know nothing is too terrible for us to hear, and that nothing...job, status, goods...is more important. And that we know they'll make bad decisions sometimes but nothing so bad we can't or won't help them. Nothing! Thank you for this important book. Joy Hartsock

Heartbreaking story. To imagine that any young girl, or anyone at all has had to endure such torture and abuse is absolutely heartbreaking. But this woman not only lived through it, and escaped it, but was brave enough to share her story in order to help save others who are experiencing the same thing. As a counseling student, this book truly opened my eyes to signs to look for, and to what is becoming an epidemic and needs to be stopped. Thank you for sharing your story!!

The slave across the street. This book took the veil off sexual slavery in America. It changed my out look on what's happening in this country. What happened in Cleveland is very real..and from the story in this well written account it's been happening for decades. We as parents have a responsibility to our kids. Great read..hard at times. Helpful tips from the author/victim on how to over come and what to look for.

Great book. A very scary story but it just goes to show you that you have to keep yourself and your kids safe because stuff like this is still happening.

The Slave Across the Street. Shame on Theresa Flores parents is my take away from this story. Theresa’s childhood and soul was stolen because her parents brought her into a dangerous world and did not protect her. Her parents were irresponsible and incompetent people and they are to blame. Throughout the book Theresa emphasizes that she fell deep into sex slavery to shield her family. She explains that writing the book has been therapeutic and helped to heal her wounds when ironically she is continuing to protect her parents and justify their actions (or lack thereof). As a parent , living in the same world , those are my initial thoughts.
