"Thank you for the opportunity to meet Leslie; little Leslie, Big Leslie, Candy, and the Leslie who has made the journey to find herself. The Leslie that God always loved and who wept with her through the running and the darkness to become the Leslie that she was meant to be. . . . This book is not about the darkness, but about the way Leslie found the light and the grace-filled God who walked with her every step of the way." -- Jo Lembo, Director of Faith Initiatives and National Outreach at Shared Hope International
"Leslie King’s harrowing experience as a young woman surviving on the streets while facing sexual exploitation, substance use disorder, and shocking violence, is tragically not rare. But her transformation from victim to champion truly inspires. She has returned to those same shadowy corners to help others fight their way out and has committed her life to saving theirs. She offers love and hope to all who are suffering and instructs others who have the power to help. A must-read for all medical professionals." -- Leslie Pelkey, MD, FACP, Leslie Kings long-standing primary care physician
"The in-depth world of sex trafficking is dark and filled with things you think only happen on television. Leslie helps you to understand that sex trafficking can hit close to home and any family can be impacted by it. Our community is blessed to have her using her testimony for the greater good." -- Senita Lenear, Third Ward Commissioner, City of Grand Rapids, Michigan
"This book is a powerful read! Leslie takes you on a journey into her life. Each chapter has you hanging on, anticipating the ending. Everyone needs to own a copy of the book." -- Tashawna Gill, Political Advisor to Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer
"Leslie is a fierce advocate for women. I am amazed and in awe of her story. She tells a story that needs to be heard and shared with the world. This is a ‘must-read’ for everyone. It is honest and based on facts. I salute Leslie and her work." -- Tyrone Carter, Michigan State Representative, District 6
"When Angels Fight is a brave memoir of God's passionate love to save his children. Leslie King shares her vulnerable story of redemption and, in so doing, teaches all of us how to love and minister to those we often judge and dismiss. Christians are called by Jesus to love the downtrodden; I am grateful Leslie has stepped up to be our guide." -- Noah Filipiak, founding pastor of Mosaic Church, author of Beyond the Battle
“Leslie has battled the devil and won the war, presenting herself worthy of the challenge to use her voice, knowledge, courage, fight, and the Word of God in her mouth to be a soul gatherer. As you journey through this book, let not the stories of this hard road be the impressions left on your heart. But see Leslie King as chosen by God. This journey of faith against all odds is a shero-ism like no other and a Kingly quest to use Leslie’s crucible to help rescue God’s garden of flowers who are just beginning to blossom.” -- Shondrella Avery, Hollywood Actor, activist, cousin of Leslie King
