About this ebook

At the vulnerable age of 12, Lara McDonnell was picked out by a gang of men who befriended her, showered her with attention and gained her trust. Manipulated and groomed, her life quickly spiralled out of control as the men trafficked her around the country, deliberately keeping her compliant with drink and drugs. Deeply disturbed, and frightened about what the gang would do to her if she tried to break free, it would take over 4 years for Lara to find the strength to fight back, flee Oxford and escape her nightmare.

This is her heartbreaking story.

Really shocking and disturbing true story of human trafficking. So horrible to think that a simple hello from a man to a young girl in a new town could lead to such horrific circumstances. I wish Lara all the best.

I've grown up around Oxford and thought i knew it's dark side, but this story opened my eyes. I feel guilty for having been in the town while this happened and not seeing it. Lara tells this tale so well, it's heart breaking that anyone would have to go through this. It's vital people hear these stories like this no matter how upsetting. Here's hoping Lara successfully rebuilds her life.

Such a brave young lady, who went so far and came back again with her lovely family who supported her throughout this horrific ordeal and who rightfully claims there are still young ones out here going through the same thing, let's hope they will hear about Lara's story and find her courage to tell someone who can help them.
