One girl. One dress. One year. For freedom.

When sixteen-year-old Bethany Winz learned about the millions of men, women, and children around the world trapped in slavery, her stomach churned.How can anyone do that to another human being? she wondered. And why aren't we doing something?

This is the story of Bethany's "something."

As Bethany works to bring freedom to people worldwide, she'll discover how much she too needs freedom. You'll be inspired not only to change the world in your own way but also to experience the life-changing freedom of God's irrepressible love.
