"The Baby Merchants" New Novel Reveals Forced Prostitution and the selling of Babies to Foreigners"
"Each year, thousands of Vietnamese girls are sold into slave labor, only to become “Srey Kouc,” prostitutes. They have no choice. The money received from such transactions will keep their families alive for one more season. "The Baby Merchants" by Leonie Campbell tells their story."
"Drawn from the author’s experience of living among the Vietnamese, "The Baby Merchants" provides a poignant insight into the social structure of Vietnam. Though a compelling novel, the book also explores the very real and devastating trials faced by the people of Vietnam, particularly women and children.
Campbell brings these disturbing facts into vivid focus, guiding her readers into the Vietnamese plight and offering hope through the caring concern of a select group of individuals. This realistic novel may shock some readers with its accounts of injustice and the ineptness of the political system to improve the conditions of Vietnam's people."
Leonie J. Campbell, "The Baby Merchants" ISBN #1-930586-33-7
“This novel opens your eyes to a world of corruption that we are unaware of in Western society. The adoption racket, selling babies to foreigners, is heartbreaking. A learning experience beautifully portrayed by the author,” proclaims Monica Holt.
