Book excerpt: Choir Boy is the story of Berry, a 12 year old choirboy who wants to hold his voice back from changing at almost any cost. Berry tries unsuccessfully to castrate himself, then convinces a clinic to treat him as a transsexual. The pills Berry takes keep his voice from changing, but they also open a door Berry can't close.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this riveting book, authors and authorities on modern day slavery Kevin Bales and Ron Soodalter expose the disturbing phenomenon of human trafficking and slavery that exists now in the United States. In The Slave Next Door we find that slaves are all around us, hidden in plain sight: the dishwasher in the kitchen of the neighborhood restaurant, the kids on the corner selling cheap trinkets, the man sweeping the floor of the local department store. In these pages we also meet some unexpected slaveholders, such as a 27-year old middle-class Texas housewife who is currently serving a life sentence for offences including slavery. Weaving together a wealth of voices—from slaves, slaveholders, and traffickers as well as from experts, counselors, law enforcement officers, rescue and support groups, and others—this book is also a call to action, telling what we, as private citizens, can do to finally bring an end to this horrific crime.
