This episode features the High Leverage Practice of Voice with Susan Young.  It’s your worst nightmare – learning that your fifteen-year-old daughter has been sex trafficked right under your nose for 1 ½ years.  Susan brings voice to this incredible horror that shattered her entire family.  Her compelling story will open the eyes of all to understand that it can happen anywhere, at any time, to any family.  With incredible strength and courage, she and her husband took this “living death”, and started to piece their  family back together.  All will be inspired by how Susan rose from the depths of despair to become the “voice for the voiceless”.
