AnnotationIn Cambodia at the age of 12, Somaly Mam was sold into sexual slavery by her abusive grandfather to cover a gambling debt. Her account of her subsequent tribulations is horrific: rape, torture, and physical and emotional trauma of all kinds. Despite the odds against her, Mam, with the help of a French aid worker, escaped to France, where she has devoted herself to fighting Southeast Asia's sex industry, an industry that affects one in forty Cambodian women, that frequently uses girls only five years old, and often operates with the tacit approval of the police and government. Mam's personal account is harrowing, her analysis of the situation is shocking, and her fight--including rescue-mission raids on depraved brothels--is nothing less than heroic.
