Out of the Shadows--a memoir
by Timea E. Nagy and Shannon Moroney
Description
A searing memoir by a victim of sex-trafficking. Timea Nagy writes: "I was 20 when I answered an ad in Budapest to be a babysitter in Canada, but the job was a lie. They took my passport, my money and my freedom. They almost took my life."
Timea had been lured by a ring of international human traffickers. On arrival in Toronto, she was forced into sex labour in the city's seediest nightclubs and kept by her "agents" for months until she made her dangerous escape. Once a voiceless victim, Timea overcame the odds to become one of the most recognized advocates against human trafficking.

Reviews
Out of the Shadows is the story of one young woman, Timea Nagy, but it bravely bears witness to the suffering of thousands who are victims of human trafficking. Our societies have the habit of blaming the victims of sexual violence and exploitation. This book vividly illustrates that the victims of this heinous crime are our daughters and sisters, innocent women who, through intimidation, violence, and deceit, are dragged into a complex web woven by organized crime. This is a timely and important book. Read it. –Marina Nemat, Author of Prisoner of Tehran
