In Follow My Footsteps,
Sara Safari and Jeffrey Kottler recount the thrilling tale of Sara’s
climb to the top of Mount Everest for a cause: bringing awareness to the
plight of marginalized girls and victims of child sex trafficking
around the world.
As a young girl in Iran after the Islamic
Revolution, Sara experienced firsthand the oppressive, restrictive
environment that enables the sex-trafficking trade to thrive. She found
herself with little personal freedom and few rights under the law, and
she knew there had to be something better.
As an adult, Sara
wanted to empower children who’d been cast aside by society, so she set
out on a journey fraught with obstacles and life-threatening peril.
She’d
never before understood the quest for the glory that came with standing
atop the world. But what better way to show these young girls that they
can do anything they put their minds to?
Her own heartbreaking
past makes the story of her determination all the more inspirational.
The trials she faced changed her forever and helped her discover a
strength she didn’t know she had.
