Capturing Jasmina, fiction for young adult readers, is the story of Jasmina, a young girl in India, and her brother, Samir. The children are sold by their father to a man promising them an education and good jobs. But, as Jasmina and Samir soon discover, the man is providing an education, not in a school, but as a slave in his sweatshop garment factory. While Samir quickly submits to his new life of misery, Jasmina never stops planning an escape. She comes to realize that escape doesn’t always mean freedom.
Teens will identify with Jasmina as, though they may not be running from traffickers, they are looking for acceptance and love, and the true refuge for all is the same - the Lord Jesus Christ.
This book expounds on the terrifying prospect of red-light districts and human trafficking without going into the painfully honest details that would be reserved for more mature audiences.
