]]> Comment on Nicole Clark, producer of Cover Girl Culture, helps prevent child sex trafficking by Carl Isaacson http://hollyaustinsmith.com/nicole-clark-producer-of-cover-girl-culture-helps-prevent-child-sex-trafficking/#comment-260 Carl Isaacson Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:02:16 +0000 http://hollyaustinsmith.com/?p=492#comment-260 Hi Holly, Thanks for the article on this priority issue. I'm glad there are people reaching out to kids to counter the media message we're bombarding ourselves with. Our precious kids need all the help they can get discovering and accepting themselves as they are, instead of trying to live up to impossible advertising and movie standards. Great story! Have you read In Our Backyard by Nita Belles, or Somebody's Daughter by Julian Sher? They focus on sex trafficking among girls in the US. I'm curious about your perspective on either of them, and whether they address any of these issues well. Runaway Girl by Carissa Phelps is an autobiographical reflection of this issue, and I wonder how much of her story resonates with yours. If you have any other books that you think are particularly helpful, I'd love to either include your recommendations on my book descriptions, and/or add your recommendation reading to my list if the books are missing altogether. Thanks! -Carl Hi Holly,

When you get your memoir published, please send me the title and links to info about the book so I can include it on the books page on my humantrafficking blog. I rotate links to other blogs on mine, so yours is in the rotation now. Hopefully you'll get a few referrals from me now and then! :-) -Carl Thanks for the great blog, and I affirm your courage.
