Traci Lords: Underneath It All

In 'Underneath it All,' Traci Lords details how as a teenager, she became a victim in the seedy world of pornography. Traci, like most teenagers, and probably many porn stars in the industry today, came from a broken and abusive home. She ran away, trusted the wrong people who abused her and unknowingly stumbled into the porn industry. Fueled by drugs and booze from her 'friends,' her life became enveloped by the abusive porn industry. Luckily, Traci was rescued by the FBI who cracked down on child pornography. Traci was lucky; however, most former pornstars' lives spriral out of control. I do wish she spoke more about her relationship with her sisters and her mother but overall this was an interesting autobiography.
