About this item

“...My heart was pounding so loud I could feel the blood pulsing in my ears. Every nerve was on alert. Did I hear someone behind me? I rolled the garbage cans to the curb, like I did every Thursday night in this wealthy Southern California town, the only task I did unattended, a brief moment away from the watchful eyes of my captors, those I had been sold a slave to when I was just 7 years old in Taiwan. Now was my chance to escape. I bolted, running as fast as I could towards the end of the street and into the car that was waiting for me. Everything I owned, left behind except the tattered shirt and dirty pants I wore, clothes reminding me of the life I had been living these past 20 years- a torn and ravaged existence, a victim of human trafficking...” Shari Ho’s incredible story of slavery and survival to inspirational speaker will grip your soul and challenge you to speak up on behalf of the silent ones around you, those who long to say.... “My Name is Also Freedom!”

How Many Others

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2023

Sold, a very young, small girl sold into slavery. She lived in servitude and constant abuse. What she endured and survived is hard to believe. Those who knew and saw said nothing.
The evil people who always seem to win will wither like grass. Psalm 37:1,2. If you see something that does not seem right, say something. There are those who are still waiting.

Made me think

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023

Shari's story is heart-wrenching. As I read page after page, I kept hoping someone would see her. Someone would speak up. Someone would rescue her. And then I wondered, would that someone have been me had I seen her life?

I entered into Shari Ho's world at 7pm and read until 2:00am then ended up dreaming about some of the incidents she experienced and described in her book. This gut wrenching story chronicles the life of a 7 year old girl who endures the horrors of human cruelty for over 20 years. This story also showcases the magnitude of LOVE moving through the humans who rescued this young woman and put her on the path to emotional & spiritual recovery. The natural thing for most victims of repeated human cruelty is to BLOCK it out - never speak of it. Not with Shari Ho. Her voice is powerful. She opens wide her soul. She speaks forthright with the hopes of rescuing and restoring those who are suffering from the dreadful evil of human cruelty. Reading her story will broaden your capacity for compassion and action towards victims of human trafficking.

A Real Page-Turner!

This book had me from page one! It chronicles the story of Shari Ho, a girl who was sold into slavery in Taiwan at the age of seven, and was brought over to live in the U.S., still as a slave. She makes a courageous escape, and has to learn how to live in society as a free person, learning how to read and write, acquire marketable skills, and interact socially with others. This book is as exciting as it is informative- I highly recommend it.

This is a true story of abuse and perseverance

This is a great story of perseverance and kindness of many people. The severe abuse Shari received is inconceivable. My cousin wrote this wonderful account of Shari's life, such empathy and love.

Get this book. It is worth it.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018

This book is amazing! I mean, it's astonishing reading the way she was treated and yet the way she held to God's word and hope in the midst of the pain she was going through. It was so hard to read at times because of the cruelty Shari went through. I cried so many times. But I also cried at the amazing kindness of the people who helped her get free and find healing.

I love how authentic Shari was in the book. It isn't just her story of being trafficked but of the hardships and victories that came after. It was raw and honest and different. There are a forgiveness and grace that permeate your soul and show the true freedom Shari got. The true freedom we can find too. I encourage you to get this book.

I was so tired reading, but pulled an all nighter to see how the story ended.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019

Once I started the book, I had a really hard time putting it down. It's about a little girl in Taiwan that is sold into slavery. The story is so vividly told that I felt like I was right there is the presence of the girl and her captors at each turn of the page. It's hard to believe human trafficking exists all over the world- even here in the US. This book takes a huge issue and makes it personal by telling the story of one girl's story. It's a must read!
