Why This Book Matters

Sold is not a light read. It is not a beach read.
It is an essential read.

For decades, Christina believed her childhood was normal—Christian home, small town, tight-knit church community. But when the memories returned at age 30, everything changed. What surfaced was the truth she had been trained not to see:

• systemic childhood sexual abuse
• trafficking orchestrated by her own father
• community complicity
• spiritual manipulation
• the death of a woman who gave her life to save Christina’s

This book gives voice to the little girl Christina once called Tina—a girl who danced in a field with Jesus long before the darkness began, a girl who deserved safety and love. Sold is Tina finally getting her voice back.

Why Now

Trafficking in Canada is grossly misunderstood.

• It’s not “over there.”
• It’s not “in big cities.”
• It’s not “taken by strangers.”

It happens:

• in rural communities
• in Christian families
• in trusted homes
• through familiar faces
• behind closed doors no one wants to talk about

This book shines a light on what trafficking actually looks like—subtle, invisible, normalized—so that survivors can recognize themselves and communities can stop the cycle of silence.

The Cost of Her Rescue

Christina saved her own life—but it came at a cost:
loss of family, church, community, financial stability, and years of rebuilding.
