Reviews
The US-Mexico border symbolizes commerce, technology, and cultural exchange. However, it hides an ominous underbelly of disappeared women, narco-killings, and arms smuggling. In the spirit of Bolaño, South Texas native Rodriguez meticulously retells the wrenching but hitherto unknown story of a disgraced pastor turned child trafficker., Rodriguez asserts that many of the human-trafficking stories in headlines, movies, and television cloud society's understanding of the topic. His latest book hopes to change that by providing a sociological perspective that points to social characteristics of trafficking through the story of Elsa Cuellar. Starting in the early 1990s, it is believed that Cuellar engaged in the sex-trafficking of young girls and selling babies along the Texas-Mexico border. For 10 years, Rodriguez researched the allegations against Cuellar; he tracked down victims, interviewed investigators, and even gained access to part of the criminal underworld that Cuellar allegedly worked in, all to try to understand how she could allegedly commit these crimes for decades and still escape justice. Rodriguez is an engaging writer who weaves the often-incomplete stories and evidence into a compelling and frightening narrative of how one woman manipulated her victims and the legal system. This book will appeal to readers of true-crime stories, but it's also ideal for those looking for a real-world example of what human trafficking looks like today., Rodriguez asserts that many of the human-trafficking stories in headlines, movies, and television cloud society's understanding of the topic.

An impressively research, detailed, and informative study, Church Pastor, Child Trafficker: The Crimes of Elsa Cuellar in a Border Town is a compelling read and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library True Crime collections and supplemental Criminology curriculum studies lists., A powerful, well-researched book on a contemporary scourge: child-trafficking. In this hair-raising account, Rodríguez casts light into the dark world of the notorious trafficker Elsa Cuellar, whose ability to transform her identity, falsify documents, and sheer smarts enabled her to elude the authorities for years.

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

My sincere apologies, the item was not what I expected, (to NO FAULT of the SELLER at all.) It came in good condition however, I must’ve of misunderstood the description, I thought the names would be transliterated into English, but it's in Hebrew. I thought it would give the Hebrew meaning to the name/ places. Also I noticed that the dust jacket was different than the advertised photo. If I may, I'd like to request a refund please and continue my search... Kind regards.
