An invisible, growing monster roams the streets, preying on millions of innocent victims in the United States and overseas. This monster is child slavery, and it is woven into the very fabric of our daily lives. Because it touches every aspect of our lives, however, it can be addressed and solved.
In Facing the Monster, author Carol Hart Metzker calls attention to the plight of t he worlds children who live a life of modern slaver y. She tells how an unexpected encounter with a n eleven-year-old girl led her into the dark world of human trafficking, forced sex trade, and child slavery. Metzkers quest to find hope, to help end slavery, and to aid survivors took her as far as childrens shelters in remote villages in India and as close as a special home just miles from her front door in Pennsylvania.
Facing the Monster narrates the stories of rescued child slaves and paints a poignant picture of the plight of hidden victims worldwide. Metzkers inspiring chronicle reveals the monstrous truths about child slavery, provides an action plan to become an agent of change, and presents solutions to end it. It shows how one persons actions can change the lives of many and that everyone can take a step to fight child slavery.
