OUT OF THE SHADOWS
A Stunning Story of One Woman's Survival
A stunning, unforgettable story of an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances who defies the odds.
Timea Eva Nagy was 20 years old when she answered a newspaper ad in Budapest calling for young women to work as housekeepers in Canada. The agency seemed reputable and Timea was eager to earn money to send home to her family.
She had no idea that she'd been lured by a ring of international human traffickers. On arrival in Toronto, she was forced into sex labour in some of the city's seediest nightclubs and kept by her agents for months until she made her dangerous escape. Allowed to stay in Canada to testify against one of her traffickers, Timea struggled to overcome her trauma until she found her purpose: working with police to break up the biggest human trafficking ring in Canada, and dedicating her life to rescuing and supporting survivors. She opened Canada's first safe house for enslaved sex workers, healing others as she healed herself. She trained the FBI, and designed a ground-breaking training program for major banks to deal with financial crimes in the $6 billion a year illegal sex work industry.
Out of the Shadows is a gripping, fast-paced journey into the underworld of human trafficking told by a brave and determined survivor. Once a voiceless victim, Timea overcame the odds to become one of the most recognized advocates against human trafficking. This is her story.
Timea Nagy is the founder of Timea's Cause, a for-profit organization focused on assisting victims of human trafficking. She is the recipient of several awards (among them the Prime Minister's Volunteer Award, Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal, Meritorious Medal) and currently serves on the Financial Sector Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking for a two-year appointment (https://bit.ly/2TT8074).
Co-writer Shannon Moroney is the author of Through the Glass, a bestselling memoir chronicling her journey through the justice system following the violent crimes of her husband in 2005. She is a recognized advocate of restorative justice and a sought-after public speaker who addresses audiences all over the world. www.shannonmoroney.com
