Review:
Praise for "Runaway Girl"
"This devastatingly honest memoir is not for the fainthearted . . . Kafka famously wrote, 'A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.' "Runaway Girl" just might become such a book. [Phelps] gives the reader valuable insight into a problem that is larger than most people realize."
--"San Francisco"" Chronicle"
"Phelps is a success . . . [a] remarkable story."
--NPR
"Carissa Phelps's story illustrates the power each of us has to speak the words that are the difference between life and death, freedom and imprisonment, success and failure. Carissa is brilliant. She's changing our world for the better, not despite what she's been through, but specifically because of it."
--Rhonda Sciortino, radio host of "Crack the Code" and author of "Succeed Because of What You've Been Through"
"Riveting . . . A genuinely important book that casts the problem of sex trafficking in America into stunning, heartbreaking relief."
--"Kirkus Reviews"
""Runaway Girl" may break your heart but I promise it will ultimately awe and inspire you. No child should have to endure what Carissa did, but thousands do. Her story is a testimony to the resilience of these children and the difference a caring individual can make in their lives. If you have any doubts whether one person can make a difference in the life of a traumatized, 'delinquent, ' young person, "Runaway Girl" should put them to rest."
--Dr. Howard Zehr, professor of restorative justice, Eastern Mennonite University's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, and author of "What Will Happen to Me?"
""Runaway Girl" demonstrates a great amount of insight and maturity. Crisp writing and perfectly chosen events highlight the story of what happens to the majority of twelve-year-olds on the street."
--"School Library Journal," selected as a Best Adult Books for Teens of the Year
"As a captivating account of the triumph of a battered heart, "Runaway Girl" is truly a modern profile in courage, a spiritual odyssey, and a riveting read. Any child who experienced the trauma that Carissa Phelps so poignantly portrays will gain comfort, encouragement, and hope in reading this book."
--Paul Freese, Public Counsel Law Center
"A brave memoir."
"--Publishers Weekly"
"What happens to the thousands of kids every year in the United States who are forced to leave home? Many of them are find themselves in the same situation Carissa Phelps did: fallen between the cracks in foster care and forced by a vicious exploiter to walk the streets. With courage, insight, and unflinching honesty, Carissa reveals the truth about her life as a runaway, bringing to light the many issues facing homeless youth while providing them with a beacon of hope to follow. I want everyone who cares about our country's young people to read this book."
--Janice Erlbaum, author of "Girlbomb"
"This book is provocative in the best sense of the word: it incites readers to "help. . . . Runaway Girl" is an effective, socially aware book that offers unique insight into one woman's personal experiences with trauma and recovery and her journey to find herself in a difficult, frightening, and ultimately supportive world."
--Katie Shaeffer, BookshelfBombshells.com
"With not a trace of victimhood or unplaced drama, this is a terrific addition to all collections."
--Amy Cheney, Alameda County Library, Juvenile Hall, CA
""Runaway Girl" should be required reading for anyone with kids, especially girls, in their lives."
--Jesika Long, Jesikalong.Tumblr.com
""Runaway Girl" is both a cautionary tale about the realities of sex-trafficking in the U.S. and an inspirational story of the change that is possible with the help of others. A very important read for both parents and teenagers."
