Highly Recommend, November 27, 2007
This review is from: Modern Day Slavery: Human Trafficking Revealed (Hardcover)
I bought a copy of this book at a special event where the author did a presentation on human trafficking as well as had a booksigning. I cannot believe the information I acquired during this event! I was so amazed by her discussion that I couldn't wait to read the book and learn more about this topic! I was so naive that I didn't think we still had slavery here in the United States - I couldn't have been more wrong! I cannot believe that children are forced into slavery, many times by their own family members.
This book is such an eye opener! The author is also a well respected lecturer on human rights; her contact information is in the book - she will come out and speak to your groups, businesses and organizations. I'm going to see if my Church is willing to bring her in for a human trafficking presentation.

this book is a scam, June 16, 2010
This review is from: Modern Day Slavery: Human Trafficking Revealed (Hardcover)
The author of this book was fined by the State of Florida for falsely passing her self-initiated organization off as a charity, in order to solicit donations from elderly people. According to a local newspaper, "Where Cathy Paris lacked credentials, she invented them. Where she lacked credibility, she pilfered it from others." [...]
The book itself does not conform to minimal writing standards (it doesn't contain references or even page numbers), and does not offer any original information or analysis.
