Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old Sumi peels back the soiled curtain of her stall on Falkland Road in Bombay, India's red-light district. She peers at her middle-aged customer and watches as her madam collects payment. For Sumi this is her ninth and hopefully last customer of the day. Once she complies with the customer's sexual demands, she will be released ... to attend a church service conducted by Project Rescue. Beyond the Soiled Curtain reveals one of the greatest human tragedies of the 21st century-how 2 million girls like Sumi are being victimized by the sex-slave industry. But this is also the inspiring story of the people reaching into the brothels to rescue them. Book jacket.
