Human trafficking is the fastest growing global crime and is now the second largest after the illegal arms trade. It involves the movement of people, against their will, through violence, deception or coercion for the purpose of sex, forced labour or even body parts. Men, women and children are all victims of trafficking; although approximately 80 per cent are women and girls and up to 50 per cent are children. The book contains real-life stories, photographs, and practical action points, divided into 6 sections - Stop: The right to freedom; Look: Trafficking is on your doorstep; Think: Attitudes and awareness; Buy: The power of the consumer; Act: Join the movement; and, Start: Resources to get you started.

Cherie Blair's autobiography takes the reader from a childhood in working-class Liverpool to the heart of the British legal system and then, as the wife of the Prime Minister, to 10 Downing Street. It has been an astonishing journey for a woman whose childhood was full of drama, and who grew up with a fierce sense of justice.

Cherie draws on her experience in this social history about life as the wife, or husband, of Britain's prime ministers form the 1950s to the present day.

*'I feel so privileged to have travelled so far. So much has happened ... that it feels wrong somehow just to let it pass as if the journey had no meaning.' CHERIE BLAIR
