Welcome to

Lauren Book was sexually abused for six years as a child by her nanny.

The now 20 something has turned her pain into a walk of healing. Book walked a thousand miles. from Key West to the Capitol in Tallahassee to promote Sexual Abuse Awareness month. She is also pushing lawmakers to pass a “walk in my shoes Act to protect victims of Sexual abuse. She told a crowd of several hundred at the Capitol that abuse could happen to any of our children.

“One in three young girls will be sexually assaulted before they’re 18 years old. And one in five young boys will be sexually assaulted before they are 18 years old. One in five children will be solicited for sex on the internet, regardless of their gender. That’s why I am so proud that we have mandatory internet safety classes.”

This was Lauren Books second year of walking to promote sexual violence awareness.
