Raped at twelve, Somaly was forced to marry at fifteen and then sold to a brothel. She endured years of abuse before managing to escape.

In 1997 Somaly Mam co-founded AFESIP to combat trafficking in women and children for sexual slavery.

** 'This is a book about how one person's courage can make a difference SUNDAY BUSINESS POST ** 'Written deftly and sparely, this story easily transcends the current rash of 'misery life-stories. Somaly Mam has no truck with sensationalism or self pity: action for change is patently what she is all about.' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING ** 'There's a big difference between misery memoir and campaigning autobiography as this traumatic and brave account of Mam's abandonment into the Cambodian sex slave trade amply demonstrates.' SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY ** 'This activist's memoir, driven by a sense of purpose greater than the self, is related with a haunting directness, in a dignified translation from the original French by Lisa Appignanesi'
