About this ebook
In 1972, Barbara Amaya was 16 years old, leading a life far from a typical teenager and why she was Nobody’s Girl. She had been sent to three detention centers, lived on the streets of, first, Washington DC and then New York City. Amaya was forced to work as a prostitute and was hooked on heroin. The ten years she spent as a victim in the world of human trafficking is just the beginning of her story.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As a person who was trafficked for 3 years till I escaped this book really helped me unravel the guilt in thinking it was my fault. I was 14 they knew this and they used me. Thank you for sharing your story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I had no idea this was her biography it was such a great read and very sobering from my own life. Thank you Barbara <3
