The Road to Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam was not a happy book, by any means. It chronicles the struggles of the author as she grows from a young orphan, sold into prostitution, and escapes the life of a prostitute and devotes her life to help other women escape.
I would probably recommend this book to people who enoy reading autobiographies, but I wouldn’t read it again. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have finished it if I hadn’t felt obligated to do so. It was a very sad story and seemed really repetitive in parts.
I salute Ms. Mam for the work that she’s doing and I feel for the very hard life that she’s lived, but I didn’t really like her book.
