As Joy struggled through the traumas of teenage relationships, she also witnessed around her the broken lives of those who had become the victims of addiction and sexual exploitation. She began to feel a calling to reach out to vulnerable women and men working in the sex industry. Starting with the red light district in Liverpool, this has taken her to the crack dens in Brazil, the strip bars in LA, and the notorious bars and brothels of Bangkok. Broken by Beauty describes both Joy's own life experiences and the insights gained from talking to those from around the world who have been sexually exploited. She aims to inspire others both to choose sexual purity and to fight on behalf of those who are more vulnerable to exploitation. 'Purity is mocked, trampled, and far too often stolen in today's world. Joy's honest and vulnerable journey to hold onto purity is a wake up call for those who have given up on its relevance. For the broken and grieving, Joy's story is a message of hope. This is a much needed message in the church and beyond.' Annie Dieselberg, Founder and CEO NightLight International

In this book the author takes us on a journey through her teenage and young adult life. As she does so, she explores the subjects of self harm, sexual purity, and human trafficking. She is honest and open about her life and loves, revealing her own mistakes and sin. What shines through is her love for God, and for those who have been exploited. She has a passion to help others and describes with feeling her contact with prostitutes in Liverpool and Thailand. Joy Farrington writes from the heart. Even though I could not agree with all she says and the advice she gives, I could not read this book without being moved. This is a book written by a vulnerable person who has chosen to lay bare her vulnerability for all to read. This is not a book to give to a teenager, but if you as an adult want to understand the mental pain and anguish that some go through in their teenage years then read this book.
