Description

Ruchira Gupta is an Emmy-winning journalist and founder of the anti sex trafficking NGO, Apne Aap that helps women and girls exit systems of prostitution. Gupta's book, I Kick and I Fly, is the American Booksellers Association Indies Introduce pick for Winter/Spring 2023 Kids Selection. Emily Autenrieth, owner of A Seat at the Table Books, calls Gupta's novel “an incredibly immersive, honest, yet YA-appropriate novel based on the real experiences of trafficked young women and those who work to free them. This incredible book manages to offer an uplifting and hopeful story without downplaying the incredibly harsh realities its characters, and the people who inspired them, face. A must-read.”
