Her drive and dedication to help victimized young women will surely prove inspirational to your students empowering them to go out and make their own impact in the world. 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.” Girls Like Us is a powerful and unforgettable story of inhuman abuse, enduring hope, and the promise of redemption. Vulnerable yet tough, she eventually ended up a victim of commercial sexual exploitation, until she broke free of the street and her pimp thanks to the help of a local church.
At thirteen, British-born Lloyd found herself spiraling into a life of torment and abuse. Part memoir, part polemic, Girls Like Us is the powerfully shocking-yet not uncommon-story of Rachel Lloyd, a former child sex worker.
