Anne Bissell’s ‘Memoirs of a Sex Industry Survivor’ is a powerful, important book that shows the connection of child sexual assault and prostitution. Being a victim of incest, running away and getting caught up in the sex industry to try and survive. This further

Damages the affects of a child that was running from the hell of her stepfather that was suppose to protect her and love her, give her guidance and a safe environment to live.

Damaged, her world spinning, she doesn’t want to be on drugs or be a prostitute.

Over and over wondering why it had to be this way. Can you see? It was being molested, running away, falling prey to a John, abusive relationships, and drugs to numb the pain.

Anne is a dedicated activist committed to helping others who have been sexual abused and exploited. To help her in her mission, Anne founded and manages several non profit outreach network groups: Sex Industry Survivors Anonymous and Voices for Justice/ Operation Silver Braid.

God Bless you Anne for writing such a powerful book.

I don't know why, but I could not get into this book at all. I'm really confused as to why that is since this is something I would normally read without a single problem. Maybe it's just my mood at the moment...If you have this book on your to-read shelf don't take it off just because I couldn't get into it because you might still like it. Who knows I may even come back to this one someday. For now I'm not liking it, and since I have so many other books that I look forward to reading I don't force myself to finish something I'm having a hard time with.
