Opening to the World - [26 Feb 2009]
I finished this book, and it opens up your eyes that there is so much out there. It brings you to the light about the horror these women, and children have to face each day and night. It's women like her that make a difference to help out. Bless her heart...

This is a heartbreaking story. - [05 Feb 2009]
Review by Jill Williamson I can't stop thinking about this book. First let me caution you, this book is graphic due to the subject matter, but I believe all older girls would benefit from reading it. The Road to Lost Innocence is not a fiction novel. ...

Excellent, although deeply disturbing - [30 Nov 2008]
It seems like the reality of the sex trade and sex trafficking is public knowledge these days, but for whatever reason, it takes the real experience of one girl to really shed light on what's happening. The book is well written and easy to read, although...
