Stealing Candy by Allison Hobbs is a shocking novel about human sex trafficking.

With dwindling personal funds, she may have to close the doors to her one-woman operation?Head Up?a safe haven for young women in crisis.

 

But when Portia, a member of Head Up, goes missing, Saleema does not accept that the troubled teen is simply a runaway. She is compelled to look for Portia, forcing an apathetic community to open their eyes and lend a hand in the search for the abducted teen. But can she help Portia and the other sex-trafficked girls break free from the malicious pimp who has abducted them? Determined to save three young lives, Saleema risks everything to get the girls out of the pimp?s murderous grasp.
