This book was very disturbing and tells without holding back the author's story of her life as a child prostitute in Cambodia. She managed to escape from her life as a prostitute, and dedicated her life to helping girls who suffer the same fate.
This book is well worth reading, but it is brutally eye opening. It is easy to fall into a sheltered life and think that nothing horrific is going on around oyu, but the reality is that in many parts of the world (including the US), women and children suffer greatly.
Somaly Mam is a true heroine, she not only escaped the horrible life she thought would be the only thing she would know, but she has fearlessly gone back to help bring awareness to human trafficking.
