[YOUR GREETING]

When Andrea Powell, founder of Karana Rising and a longtime advocate for victims of sexual exploitation, received a letter from a desperate female inmate in Georgia's Pulaski State Prison, she had no idea that her life was about to radically change. 

Tiffany Simpson, a teenage mother who’d been pimped out by her boyfriend, had been disappeared by the system. Now, she was doing thirty years for the crime of being trafficked. She had written to ask Andrea, “Am I a victim of sex trafficking, or am I a prostitute?”

As their relationship grew, it became Andrea’s mission to correct this miscarriage of justice and help Tiffany win her freedom. But, as she soon learned, some cases aren’t so simple – and, far too often, the systems we count on to protect victims of trafficking and violence silence them instead. 

Believe Me is the true story of how Andrea, Tiffany, and their team of advocates and supporters won Tiffany’s freedom and changed the American justice system for the good of all survivors. This poignant and harrowing memoir brings to light the truth of what survivors of trafficking and sex crimes endure, and how often those we villainize are themselves victims and casualties. However, the ultimate message is one of hope, and love, because when compassion and truth take center stage, two people really can change the world.

[YOUR GREETING]

“Am I a victim of sex trafficking, or am I a prostitute?”

This question, asked by a teenage inmate facing two decades or more in prison, propelled advocate Andrea Powell on a journey that would change not only her life, but the entire American justice system.

In her harrowing, poignant, and ultimately uplifting new memoir, Believe Me, Powell shares how her relationship with inmate Tiffany Simpson led her to support not only Tiffany’s personal fight for freedom, but the fight to change how the justice system deals with victims and survivors. Deeply personal, at times humorous, and always clear-eyed, Powell’s account will inspire you and remind you that together, we are strong enough to change the world.

Here’s what people are saying about Believe Me:

“Andrea Powell’s book is more than a book about justice; it’s also about infusing social change with love and a fierce commitment to compassion. A must-read.” - Justin Baldoni, author, actor, filmmaker, and podcast host

“Believe Me is the extraordinary story of two women: Tiffany, a teenage victim of sex trafficking sentenced to jail for thirty years, and Andrea, a passionate advocate fighting for Tiffany’s freedom. I have had the honor of witnessing their ten-year journey together. A journey of trauma and healing, courage, and ultimately, Revolutionary Love. Read this book for these women to inspire you, as they have me.” - Valarie Kaur, bestselling author of See No Stranger and founder of The Revolutionary Love Project
