Girls Like Us: Fighting for a World Where Girls are Not for Sale, an Activist Finds Her Calling and Heals Herself by Rachel Lloyd

4.0

I'm not even going to try to lie, I cried like a baby reading this book. It was amazingly written and heartbreaking from beginning to end. Rachel was sold in to a life of prostitution after she ran away to Germany as a teenager. She finally escaped after nearly being beaten to death and found a new life living in New York where she founded a non-profit working with girls in a similar situation. Readers are introduced to girl after girl and it's a very somber read which will break your heart over and over again. It's also a book that every woman should read because it's a problem that must be addressed.
