my story of surviving, escaping, and transcending abduction into prostitution
Sophie Hayes, a young, educated English woman, was spending an idyllic weekend in Italy with her seemingly charming new boyfriend. But the day she was scheduled to return to England he took her passport and made it clear she wasn't going anywhere and informed her she would be going into prostitution to help him pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in debts he owed. Over the next six months Sophie lived in hell as she struggled to survive, constantly at the mercy of her boyfriend's violent moods and her fear of being killed by one of her customers. When a life-threatening illness landed her in the hospital, Sophie had a chance to phone her mother and escape, provided she could fool her boyfriend into letting her go.
