With the power and verity of First They Killed My Father and A Long Way Gone, 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."
