There's no denying that this is a powerful, inspiring story. Somaly Mam is an incredible person. It seems harsh to criticize the life story of a woman with no connection to her biological family who was sold into prostitution as a child, still haunted by torment and shame. As the story of someone's tragic childhood and adolescence, there should be no judgment. However, the book is clearly written by someone who is not a native English speaker, and I tend to connect more deeply with more fluent and capable writing.
