John,
At Love146, our everyday work revolves around one thing: ending child trafficking and exploitation. Our staff often have antennas up for stories of trafficking that show up, from news stories to entertainment.

Have you read Demon Copperhead?

It’s a popular contemporary novel that lots of folks have been talking about over the past couple years. Some of us at Love146 took a read through this book on our own time, and spotted several cases of trafficking unfolding in the story.

To us, these trafficking situations jumped off the pages. Maybe they did to you too. Though we’re glad to see realistic depictions of trafficking, the phrase ‘human trafficking’ is never found in Demon Copperhead. Because society’s picture of trafficking is often narrow, many of the survivors we’ve worked with don’t initially identify that what they’ve experienced is trafficking victimization.

And so, as thousands of people read and discuss this book, we don’t want to miss the opportunity to name the 4 cases of trafficking we see in Demon Copperhead. (We’ve included questions for book clubs or individual readers, throughout.)

I wanted to pass this on, in case you’ve read it or know somebody who has! Check it out here.

Warmly,

Founded in 2002, Love146 journeys alongside children impacted by trafficking today and prevents the trafficking of children tomorrow. Our prevention education and survivor care work has impacted more than 77,700 young people. Our work is achieved through the power of relationships and collaboration, listening to those with lived experience and diverse backgrounds, scaling proven practices, and challenging the systems that leave children vulnerable. Our core commitment is to do what is best for children.
