“Who is my father? Where is he? Do I have uncles or aunties?” My mother evaded all my questions, but I knew she lived in fear of someone or something. We moved across Nigeria to escape a threat she refused to speak about, and when she died in mysterious circumstances, I was alone and orphaned at only 12 years old. When a smiling lady appeared and claimed she had been my mother’s friend, I was grateful for her offer to care for me and give me a home. Naïve and trusting, I followed her—not to the loving home she promised—but into the dark hell of human trafficking. For more than a decade, I was a slave, forced to see, experience, and participate in acts of unimaginable depravity and evil. Death seemed to be the only way out, but death eluded me. My escape from that world was nothing less than a miracle, and it strengthened my faith in a God who never abandoned me, even at the darkest times. My late mother used to tell me, “A wounded lion is better than a dead lion. A wounded lion roars again.” My years in sexual slavery left me deeply wounded but not dead. By the grace of God, I am alive today. I am a wounded lion, but this book is my roar of triumph and deliverance.ASIN: B0BCCW6T9VVSKU: BVV.B0BCCW6T9V.GCondition: GoodAuthor/Artist:Philips, Monique C.Binding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
