"Fattening for Gabon"

"Fattening for Gabon." Now this is the turning point story in this book for me. This is THE turning point story.

I have done over the years… I would have to say countless stories about child sex trafficking. I have done them with people who are known like Ricky Martin. I've done them with Nicholas Kristof from The New York Times. I've done many, many, many, many, many stories and read newspaper articles and really given a lot of thought to the child sex trade industry. Never have I been affected by the humanity of the children the way I was by this story, "Fattening for Gabon." It was just really searing.

It was searing, and I couldn't believe it. The end of the story… May I just say the end of the story, the very last line of story, is what prompted me to choose this as a Book Club selection. I finished reading that story and I was in disbelief. I won't give away the ending if you haven't read the ending yet, but I had to talk to somebody else who had read the story! And I didn't know anybody else who read the story, so I had to find the author to talk to the author about that story. Because that last sentence just wiped me out, I couldn't believe it.

So, wait till you get to the end of that story, and you'll know that is why we are reading this book, "Say You're One of Them," because of that story.
