Modern slavery — also known as human trafficking — consists of horrific acts of sexual exploitation/forced prostitution, forced marriage, child marriage, bonded child labor, forced labor and child soldier slavery. The United Nations estimates there are 27 million slaves in the world with a disproportionate amount of today's slaves being kids under the age of 18. The United States is one of their destination countries. The cycle of desperate mothers having to sell their own children is vicious and ominous but there is HOPE, and Sarah Symons shares how she took on this enormous cause, personally and professionally, in her book this is no ordinary joy.

Told in a warm, story-telling fashion, Symons shares her truthful journey of why and how she decided to make a dramatic change to re-purpose her comfortable and successful life as a musician/composer and mother of two young children with a husband who aided in their financial stability as an investment banker. “This is truly a warts-and-all retelling,” Symons proclaims. “I share many mistakes, failures, doubts and flaws, and it doesn’t always make me look good.”
