Saved in America, His Greatest Works

The publications that Travers has authored pertaining to the sex trafficking and investigative arenas are immensely helpful to those in these fields. The first-hand knowledge he bestows through these works, presented in a concise, easy-to-digest format is valuable to be sure and can most certainly be deemed a great work. However, beyond the books, Travers has also created a life-changing organization that each and every day seeks to find and then rescue missing and exploited children. His organization, Saved in America has successfully recovered over 250 children since its first rescue that took place in 2014. Through his books as well as his organization, Travers continues to attempt to educate the masses on the dangers that exist within the human trafficking industry and why it’s so important for us all to fight back against its evils.
