I agree that Aimee gave a great interview here. There is so much work to be done, yet already so much accomplished! Thanks for stopping by the blog.

Well done. I am related to Pam, involved in Touch A Life, have been to the same remote areas in Ghana, and met those children rescued from Lake Volta. Aimee captured everything factual and emotional to a tee!Erichttp://www.ericcope.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-82150579110179798312009-08-28T18:19:28.471-05:002009-08-28T18:19:28.471-05:00Definitely a must read.

Thankfully, all the children in that orphanage were well cared for. What still haunts me are certain faces of girls and young women in Thailand forced into prostitution. While living in Bangkok, I did some extensive research on this for a novel I was working on. So I strongly relate to why Aimee was so deeply moved by what she experienced in regards to forced prostitution in Cambodia. I really hope that one day she will explore this issue more and write about it. I plan to really get into it in my memoir covering the six and a half years I lived in Thailand. Aimee's solo book really sounds fascinating. I wish her all the best.<br /><br />On a much different note, Susan I really enjoyed meeting and talking with you yesterday. This is a fantastic interview. Really looking forward to reading more of your work.Deborah Downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132792562364747466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-24845203137470058652009-08-28T17:01:47.977-05:002009-08-28T17:01:47.977-05:00I'm sure in some ways it was cathartic to writ...I'm sure in some ways it was cathartic to write about what must have been a deeply disturbing experience.

I think, for just that reason, that this book is a MUST READ. It can change not only they way you think, but also how we react to the world around us.Susanhttp://www.southpaw99.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-76635689629607241622009-08-28T11:41:32.377-05:002009-08-28T11:41:32.377-05:00I have to read this.

The worst was seeing the kids with AIDS, some were just babies. They had them separated into two rooms - the ones who were sick and the ones who weren't sick YET. When I looked into the latter room and saw all these seemingly happy and healthy kids and knew that they were all going to die before they grew up, I ran away sobbing. I still get misty-eyed thinking about it.<br /><br />I think anyone who can witness these things and be involved enough to help children are heroes.Kim Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100854132576647442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-1905620841898686552009-08-28T11:24:03.097-05:002009-08-28T11:24:03.097-05:00I remember seeing Pam's story played out on Op...I remember seeing Pam's story played out on Oprah. The images of the little boys sold into slavery on the fishing boats haunt me still. I can see how working with Pam was life-changing for Aimee. Can't wait to read the book.Pamela Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267333699680840984noreply@blogger.com
