I won't go into all of the details that the other reviewers have already done as they've done a great job. What I will tell you is that this is one of those books that you don't easily forget. Once you sit down to read it, you can't stop until you finish and then you are left in a state of shock. I've seen documentaries and TV news reports about child sex slavery, but to read about it from the point of view of someone who is living it....well, it makes it real. This young girl was sold into sex slavery by her family and is forced to live in a cage on the streets of Mumbai. Trying to make sense of her existence, she writes this journal and this book is the result. Don't miss this one.
