Mother Publishes “From 8,000 Miles: A True Story of Internet Danger and How Our Daughter Was Saved”

Proceeds to Prevent Human Trafficking - January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month

MOBILE, AL, UNITED STATES, December 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Destiny Dawn Harris recently published her debut book, From 8,000 Miles, which recounts the details of the trauma her family experienced in September 2018 when their twenty-one-year-old daughter left their home in the middle of the night, boarding a plane with a one-way ticket headed to India.

Their daughter intended to meet an online stranger she had been communicating with for two years without her parents’ knowledge and would have likely been sex trafficked without the immediate involvement of Homeland Security and the U.S. Marshalls, sent by Congressman Bradley Byrne’s office.

Destiny details their story to bring awareness to families of the very real threat of online predators and to help save girls’ lives and those who may be caught in a similar trap. She hopes to educate, as she believes in education, not condemnation.

Destiny Dawn Harris is the mother of three adult children: a daughter and two sons, and lives in her hometown of Mobile, Alabama. From 8,000 Miles is her first book.

Destiny invites mothers to share their pain and wisdom to help each other through difficult situations with their children, bringing hope and healing. Destiny graduated from the University of South Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

The publisher of the book is Triumph Press. The founder, Melanie Davis, is dedicated to helping people find healing and serve others through publishing books that are stories of Tragedy turned into Triumph.
