Rendition Conducive To Books A Walk Across the Sun

Corban Addison leads readers on a chilling, eye-opening journey into Mumbai's seedy underworld--and the nightmare of two orphaned girls swept into the international sex trade.

When a tsunami rages through their coastal town in India, 17-year-old Ahalya Ghai and her 15-year-old sister Sita are left orphaned and homeless. With almost everyone they know suddenly erased from the face of the earth, the girls set out for the convent where they attend school. They are abducted almost immediately and sold to a Mumbai brothel owner, beginning a hellish descent into the bowels of the sex trade.

Halfway across the world, Washington, D.C., attorney Thomas Clarke faces his own personal and professional crisis-and makes the fateful decision to pursue a pro bono sabbatical working in India for an NGO that prosecutes the subcontinent's human traffickers. There, his conscience awakens as he sees firsthand the horrors of the trade in human flesh, and the corrupt judicial system that fosters it. Learning of the fate of Ahalya and Sita, Clarke makes it his personal mission to rescue them, setting the stage for a riveting showdown with an international network of ruthless criminals.

Criticize Based On Books A Walk Across the Sun

The subject being sex slave trafficking, I thought this book had a lot of potential. It turned out to be flat and predictable, it's characters undeveloped. The story of a privileged lawyer, obviously suffering from some kind of white man burden, who races around the world to save a young girl's virginity, all the while with unbelievable strokes of luck spurring him on. As weird as it sounds given the subject matter, the book just wasn't horrific enough. A girl sold as a sex slave for months, yet

I'm sorry, but I thought this book was extremely BORING! everyone's rave reviews drew me to it, so I was really excited to read it! The whole concept was good and could have been done with so much more detail and excitement. I found myself thinking that at any time it was going to get exciting, because it did have the potential, but constantly fell flat. I thought the writing was amateur at best and the ending was so corny! My advise is to save your time and money! This is a definate no read!

this was a hard read in the sense that it's quite disturbing. it's one of those things that you know exists, but you don't want to think about it too much - child trafficking. but sometimes we have to face the facts and educate ourselves. this is so extremely sad, as it is something that cannot be stopped completely. however, i take my hat off to people who make it their purpose in life to try and save one girl. it was a riveting story - the author definitely did his research well. well worth

In A WALK ACROSS THE SUN you meet Ahalya and her sister Sita who were saved, if you can call it saved, from the terrors of the tsunami that occurred in India. Their entire family perished in the tsunami, and these two innocent girls were kidnapped, bought, and forced into a brothel in India. Meanwhile on the other side of the world, Thomas Clarke, an attorney in Washington D.C., takes on a position in India to try to find and arrest the sex traffic offenders.You will follow the horrors of a life

Author just seemed to get interested in the topic of human trafficking, read a bunch of articles about it, then tried to put as much as he possibly could of what he had read into the lives of the characters. The main character should not have been Thomas. I couldn't make myself care about his affair, his wife, his family issues or even the loss of his child. The two girls (Ahalya and Sita) should have been main characters and he should have been a secondary character at best. Everything just

Addison has written a page-turner on an important aspect of society that we read about once in a while in the newspapers and then file away in our minds. Walk across the sun covers two years in the life of two Indian girls left orphaned by a tsunami. The story is heart-breaking as these girls from a middle class family are thrust into the depths of moral depravity yet somehow they remain hopeful and maintain their dignity as individuals and human beings. I read this book right after reading

2.5 Stars A walk across the Sun by Corban Addision was a disappointing read on many levels for me. The book has got great reviews and I know that I am in the minority on this one but while the subject is one that is so sad and very real in today's world I have to judge this book on how the story came across in reading it and how it made me feel. This Novel explores the difficult subject of Child Sex trafficking and tells the story of the two Ghai sisters whose childhood's ends abruptly one day
