This book is about Joy Smith’s journey on Parliament Hill, through the eyes of a young survivor.
The story revolves around Abby Summers, a high school student from Markham, Ontario with a special love for soccer. After receiving a message on social media from a new guy named Jake, the two begin to date. Abby falls for him quickly, even imagining a future together. Her hope suffers a bad turn when he convinces her to sell herself to men for one night. Eventually one night turns into many and Jake convinces her to take a trip with him across Canada to make a lot of money for their life together. When Abby finally wants out she discovers she is trapped. Meanwhile, Member of Parliament Joy Smith is working to build support for a human trafficking bill to ensure minimum sentences are given to anyone convicted of luring girls into sex slavery. It is an uphill battle with many not believing human trafficking is happening to Canadian girls. Joy struggles to get her bill passed while working with police and Abby's mother to rescue her from the underground prison of human trafficking.
