The Road of Lost Innocence: The True Story of a Cambodian Heroine by Somaly Mam

5.0

Somaly Mam was twelve-years-old when her grandfather sold her to a brothel to pay his gambling debt. The Road of Lost Innocence is Somaly's story of her descent into the torturous hell of sex slavery and human trafficking and her courage to lead herself and others back into the light. This is a difficult book to read. It is ugly and violent, but sometimes the truth is ugly. There were parts of this book that literally made me sick to my stomach. But there are also parts of this book that are hopeful and a testimony to the resilient spirit of one woman who is changing our world. Read the book
