The Third Daughter is a friedhting journey into the New World of the late 1800s, of a trusting young woman lured from Russia and forced into prositution in Argentina. While succeeding in the nascent art of tango, Batya finds courage in the face of danger and hope in the hours of despair - and bravely struggles to free herself from bondage while bringing down the powerful pimps' union. The Third Daughter is a tribute to the victims, whose voices the author could not silence, and who propelled her to launch a campaign against today's sex-trafficking. 
Talia Carn­er is an award-win­ning author of five his­tor­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal sus­pense nov­els that shed light on social indig­ni­ties and atroc­i­ties. For­mer­ly the pub­lish­er of Savvy Woman mag­a­zine and a lec­tur­er at inter­na­tion­al women’s eco­nom­ic forums, she is com­mit­ted to glob­al human rights and has spear­head­ed projects focus­ing on female and chil­dren’s plights.
