Since The Slave Across the Street was first published, Theresa Flores has become a leading human trafficking subject matter expert and activist. But reaching this point in her recovery didn't happen overnight. This updated edition delves deeper into the aftermath of her experience, physical and emotional implications, and multiple levels of trauma that trafficking can have upon a person.
In this powerful true story, Theresa shares how her life as an all-American, 15-year-old teenager became enslaved into the dangerous world of sex trafficking all while living at home with unsuspecting parents in an upper middle class suburb of Detroit.
Her story peels the cover off this horrific criminal activity and gives both dedicated activists and casual bystanders a glimpse into the underbelly of human trafficking and how her faith set her on a spiritual journey to help others. Theresa's experience provides a well-rounded portrait of the dark world of human trafficking and serves as a reminder of the most important element to overcoming slavery: hope.

Where this product came from
Curative Product
The scars of abuse, abandonment, addiction, and slavery run deep. They are not easily healed. They infect the mind, body, and soul, crippling human dignity. But as WAR, Int'l develops curative programs and partnerships, wounded women begin the difficult journey toward renewal. Physical, spiritual, and emotional care creates communities of hope and healing. Soon, women are forging new futures within the safety of their programs, learning sought-after and sustainable skills. When a rescued woman's creations are brought and bragged on, she becomes an empowered individual, knowing that she has value beyond the world's red light districts. Women in curative programs go on to care for their families, earn diplomas and college degrees, and find careers of dignity. When you wear products created by rescued women, you join them on the journey and help heal the pain of their past.
Every time you buy a WAR, Int'l product, you protect and empower an at-risk woman. When you share her story, you become a voice for the voiceless, sounding a war cry on behalf of one kept silent. When you volunteer your time, talents, or treasures, you enter the front lines of the fight to lift women to places of dignity. You are our fellow soldier. Together we can pull wounded women and children from the trenches and offer them places of safety and healing. Our war is not in vain. Empowered women are returning to the battlefield, joining the fight themselves. As counselors, authors, social workers, and teachers, they rescue and protect the innocent. The fight is not over. But as more men, women, and families join us, more lives will be restored. Thank you for becoming a fellow WARrior and taking action against that which threatens hope, justice, and freedom.
