Nefarious: Merchant of Souls (2011)

Carissa by Carissa Phelps (2008)
Years ago, Carissa Phelps was abandoned at the juvenile hall in Fresno. She ended up on the streets. With no one to turn to, she was forced into prostitution -- at the age of twelve. Today, Carissa is a graduate of UCLA's law and business school. '"Carissa" recounts her inspirational story as we travel back with her to the places where it happened. |
