From the Back Cover
There is hope, even on the darkest of days
Katariina Rosenblatt was a lonely and abused young girl, yearning to be loved, wanting attention. That made her the perfect target. On an ordinary day, she met a confident young woman--someone Kat wished she could be like--who pretended to be a friend while slowly luring her into a child trafficking ring. A cycle of false friendships, threats, drugs, and violence kept her trapped.
As Kat shares her harrowing experiences, her ultimate escape, and her passionate efforts to now free other victims, you'll see that not only is sex trafficking happening frighteningly close to home--it's also something that can be stopped. Stolen is a warning, a celebration of survival, and a beacon of hope that will inspire you.
Katariina Rosenblatt, LLM, PhD, is living proof of the promise she heard long ago at a Billy Graham crusade that God would never forsake her. Katariina has a PhD in conflict analysis and resolution and an LLM graduate law degree in intercultural human rights, and she works closely with law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and Homeland Security to eliminate human slavery. She also founded Stolen Ones--There Is H.O.P.E. For Me, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing other victims of human trafficking. For more information, visit www.StolenOnes.com. She lives in Florida.
Cecil Murphey has written or coauthored more than 130 books, including the bestselling 90 Minutes in Heaven with Don Piper and the autobiography of Franklin Graham, Rebel with a Cause. He was a collaborator on the bestseller Gifted Hands with Dr. Ben Carson. Cecil resides in Georgia.

From Chosen to Stolen and Back
By Dr Conrade Yap
Trust is good. Misplaced trust is not. The former keeps one safe and secure. The latter can trick one into sex trafficking. This is exactly what the author of this book had personally experienced. Having trusted a decent looking lady called Mary, who appeared to be a close confidante, a good friend, and a helpful samaritan, she was eventually manipulated, deceived, and her innocence stolen from her. With deep honesty about her own perceptions and urgency to let her story heighten the need to be careful with strangers, Rosenblatt traces her childhood story where she was unwittingly "groomed for the life of sex trafficking" at a tender age of 13. With Mary, Rosenblatt felt treated with respect, with love, and with dignity. Unfortunately, she failed to pick up signals along the way, falling into the trap of being chosen. Her need for a loving dad was falsely met by tricks and traps. Gradually, she entered into a spiral of drugs and deceit. Unlike some stories where girls are captured and forced into sex slavery against their wills, Rosenblatt's story highlights a different kind of deception that makes victims go back willingly to the perpetrators. Why? Answer: Drugs and misplaced trust. The cycle is horrendous. She needed money to feed her drug habits. She obtains money through sex and in turn needs more drugs to sustain this vicious cycle, willlingly! Her story is also a sad one. Born to immigrant parents who divorced when she was three, her biological dad sexually abused her, and often was violent toward her and the family. She had no permanent place to call home. She was even molested by her babysitter!
With story after story about her being trapped, escaped, enslaved, freed, and the turbulences of flowing in and out of drugs and a horrid lifestyle, Rosenblatt writes in such a way as to warn readers that such things are very real especially in first world countries. Sex trafficking is not just about sex. It involves heavy use of drugs, abuse of children, gangs, guns, deceptions, and downplayed by a society that often does not seem to care.
Fortunately, she was among the 15% of victims who managed to escape eventually. The second half of the book details her slow climb out of the pit of darkness. It begins with affirmative actions that bring back semblance of dignity to her self-worth. She tried modeling but was soon facing another different kind of challenges: teen pregnancy, early marriage and subsequently separated. She went back to school and graduated from Trinity University with a college degree in Human Resources Management. She started a business, got another degree (law), and eventually set up HOPE, a ministry to help others avoid the traps of sex trafficking.
Rosenblatt's story is not simply a story of someone who had their innocence and youth stolen from underneath their noses. It is a warning for the rest of us to sit up and take note of the dangers that can impact young lives. Parents need to know about the vulnerabilities their children often face. Being over-protective in such cases like Rosenblatt's can be a life saver too. Throughout the book, Rosenblatt reveals how she felt God speaking and guiding her. It is a miracle she was able to escape the entire trade in the first place. Readers will be glad to see how Rosenblatt, instead of remaining bitter and angry about her past, chooses to do something positive about it. She is an active contributor to the public through her legal expertise, her powerful communications, her deep understanding of the insidious workings of sex trade, and above all, her deeply frank sharing of her own life. The book is surely an indictment of how society can deteriorate to such a pathetic level, where victims of sex trafficking can become recruiters and perpetrators as well. Something must break such a vicious cycle. In fact, Someone needs to intervene. Rosenblatt's story is a testimony of how God had helped to intervene.
Rating: 4.25 stars of 5.

A Must Read!
By Laura Davis
What happens to lonely, abused children coming from dysfunctional families, who are looking for love and attention? In most cases they are stolen by sex traffickers and forced into a life of prostitution and sexual slavery.
In Stolen by Katariina Rosenblatt, the author shares her story of how she was deceived by someone who came along and presented themselves as a friend. This person gave Katariina the love and encouragement she needed that she wasn't getting at home. Unfortunately, it was all an act and before Katariina knew what was happening she was on drugs and a sex slave by the age of thirteen.
But Katariina didn't fall prey to sex traffickers just once, she became a victim again and again, after escaping her abusers more than once. Through it all, however, she had moments when she could hear God speak to her and knew He had a different plan for her. It was through her deliverance at a Billy Graham crusade prior to her abuse that kept her believing in God and eventually surrendering and trusting in Him.
This story, while disturbing because of it's subject matter, is at the same time uplifting, because of what God did in the author's life. How she escaped trafficking, drugs and became the person she is today, (with a PhD behind her name) is a marvellous testimony to God's faithfulness when we trust in Him.
I highly encourage all parents to read this book, because it is very thorough on the signs you need to be aware of in regards to your child becoming a victim of the sex trade. You may think your child is safe, but it is the most vulnerable (those with economic disadvantages, those without a father figure, single parent homes, abuse within the home, exposure to drugs and/or alcohol within the home) that are susceptible to becoming victims. And it isn't just girls but boys too that are vulnerable to sex traffickers.
This book needs to be read by everyone, not just parents. It needs to be read so that you could spot someone in trouble at an airport, McDonald's (yes traffickers wait there for your children), hotels or motels and schools (yes, they are there too). I have learned so much and praise God that Katariina survived and is now instrumental in saving children and getting them out of the hands of their abusers.
Read this book, you won't regret it.

Makes One Think
By Allergykidmom
First off, I am very critical when I read books. I tend to see them as more than just a story. I have a bad habit of critiquing books while I read them. It is just what I do. I love reading and do enjoy different styles, but sometimes have a harder time with some over others. This unfortunately is what happened with this book. Don't get me wrong, the story is an amazing one. For someone to come out of a situation as strong as Katariina did says a lot but, it's just her way of writing her story that I felt came across like somewhat of a mix between a book and a lecture. I also felt at times she jumped around too much. Like I said, sometimes I can be very critical, and in this case this is what happened.
I do feel as though Katariina is a very strong person. To have had a full life filled with one heartbreak after another, most people wouldn't be able to say 'I made it and I am here to stay'. But her will, strength and trust in God brought her through her tough moments and had her come out on top a true survivor.
While thinking about sex trafficking, I don't tend to think of it as happening in the United States. That is probably where a lot of us go wrong. We tend to think it is something that happens in other countries, so our children won't necessarily become victims to it. This story let me know that it is right in our "backyard". I also learned that it is not necessarily just "street" prostitution that kids get sold into. It can be a friend, neighbour or just someone you least expect. Stolen, shows us that we need to keep an eye on our children and make sure we know who they are hanging around and what they are doing. They may feel like we are overbearing, but I would rather be a somewhat overbearing person, than to have my child be sold into sex trafficking. And like she states in the book. More so than not, people don't tend to make it out and those that do make it out, don't tend to live past their twenties.
When you reach the end of the book, there is a section on how your church can start up a ministry to help others that are in need of help.
I think this is a book that most parents should read. Especially those who have the quieter type of children (which she mentions as prime targets).
