She Went Back — James W. Nelson

Book 6 will likely be the last book in the fictional "Daughters" series. Why? Because it's too hard on me to try to tell the stories of the girls trapped in human trafficking. It requires research, meaning reading many true stories, watching videos, and then creating fiction. In other words, in a way, reliving what those girls went through. Even worse when I create a story from a girl I actually met, heard about, and then never saw again. like. well, what the hell happened to her?Book 1 was inspired by a young girl I deeply cared about.

It has been many, many, months since I saw it, but I cannot forget that young girl. Most porn videos are 3-5 minutes. I suspect this video really was this girl's first time. They all ha
