![“Tamara's story is heartbreaking and extreme, but also a deeply revealing tale of the truth of child marriage and religious labor trafficking that is the fate of way too many children, in the US and throughout the world. As a child of trafficking myself, I appreciate the boldness with which Tamara tells her story, and the delicateness with which she cares for the reader. I hope this book is widely read, to help people be able to better spot the signs of religious trafficking and abuse when they encounter it.”](https://tamaramc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Daniella.webp)
![Tamara’s story intersects with major issues at an urgent time, and she powerfully offers reminders of hope from the gravity of experience. Her unique voice brings highly relevant and personal context to confusing world issues we struggle to comprehend as a concerned society. But as a fellow survivor of patriarchal violence I know firsthand—what survivors hunger for most is to know a better life is within reach, and that happiness again is possible. In a time when exploited women and children need all the advocacy they can get, I look for authors like Tamara to help me understand what is beyond yet all-too familiar in fundamentalist and high-control religious regimes.](https://tamaramc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Tia-Levings-2.webp)
![Tamara is a leading voice in the survivor-led movement to end forced and child marriage in the United States. She is fearless in standing with me and other survivors -- at a chain-in protest in California, in a bridal gown and chains, and now in her powerful book -- to tell her heartbreaking story and push for legal reform, so she can spare other girls the trauma she endured. I remain in awe of Tamara's resiliency and eloquence, which are helping to drive the movement.](https://tamaramc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Fraidy.webp)

!["Tamara’s story shows us the intersection of high control religions and patriarchy and how, too often, children are collateral damage in the pursuit of power and influence. She demonstrates how faith can turn to manipulation, servitude, and abuse. She is a needed voice in our crucial collective conversations regarding agency, parental control, and keeping our youngest and most vulnerable citizens safe."](https://tamaramc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Ashley-Renard.webp)
