At their Oct 24th concert newVoices, Wisconsin's premier choral ensemble, will be presenting Facing the Music; the unfamiliar truth about human sex trafficking:awareness, education, and hope. In their effort to bring awareness to the community of the growing problem of human sex trafficking in the valley and what puts our teens and young adults at risk, newVoices will be hosting two book discussions around the book Girls Like Us by Rachel Lloyd.

Rachel Lloyd’s riveting survivor story is the true tale of her hard-won escape from the commercial sex industry and her bold founding of GEMS, New York City’s Girls Education and Mentoring Service, to help countless other young girls escape "the life." Lloyd’s unflinchingly honest memoir is a powerful and unforgettable story of inhuman abuse, enduring hope, and the promise of redemption.

Teenagers are welcome to attend with a parent or guardian.

Discussions will be held at the Appleton Public Library room C on Monday, October 12 at 1:30 PM and Tuesday, October 20 at 7:30 PM. For questions please contact Nancy Rickhoff at 268-3826.
