Posted on April 10, 2013

Sexual abuse awareness advocate Lauren Book will bring her fourth annual “Walk in My Shoes”–a 1,500-mile journey across Florida from the Keys to the Panhandle–to Taylor County when she will join with local organizers Tuesday, April 16, to spread the message that “It’s OK to tell.”
