A Walk Across the Sun by Corban Addison
Review by Wendy Aujla
A Walk Across the Sun is a fictional story, however it puts into perspective how human trafficking is a horrifying reality across the world.
Corban Addison introduces the reader to two young girls who
are tragically orphaned after a tsunami tore through their home. The girls
17-year old Ahalya Ghai and her 15-year-old sister, Sita, are kidnapped and
taken into the Brothels of Mumbai where their life changes. Eventually the
girls are rescued from their nightmare by a D.C.-based attorney Thomas Clarke
who faces his own marital and career challenges. His wife, Priya, has returned
to her family in India after she lost her own infant daughter.
Thomas ends up working in Mumbai after he is granted a paid sabbatical leave to work on a pro bono case overseas. It is in Mumbai that he connects with a coalition against sexual exploitation (CASE) and discovers how difficult it is to rescue young girls from the human trafficking business. During this time he also reconnects with Priya.
This book touches on hope, power dynamics, exploitation, and violation of human rights, social injustices, drugs, forced labour and the difficulty of inter-cultural marriages.
All of these issues are complex and the reader will develop
his or her own perspective on each. Once I started reading, I could not put
down this book! I encourage everyone to read “A Walk Across the Sun” as the
author has done extensive research to take you on a journey about a sensitive
and challenging topic: human trafficking.
The story is heartbreaking and eye opening for those who are not familiar with these issues in society.
Corban Addison, a litigation attorney and supporter of human-rights/social-justice causes globally, has in his first novel situated a call for action and change!

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!
