The road of lost innocence / by Mam, Somaly.(CARDINAL)477554; Marshall, Ruth,1961-(CARDINAL)492419;
Born in a Cambodian village, Somaly Mam was sold into sexual slavery by her grandfather at age twelve. For the next decade she was shuttled through the brothels that make up the sprawling sex trade of Southeast Asia. She suffered the brutality and horrors of human trafficking--rape, torture, deprivation--until she managed to escape with the help of a French aid worker. Emboldened by her newfound freedom, education, and security, Somaly blossomed but remained haunted by the girls in the brothels she left behind. This book tells the story of her awakening as an activist and her harrowing and brave fight against the powerful and corrupt forces that steal the lives of these girls. She has built shelters, started schools, and founded an organization that has so far saved more than four thousand women and children in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos.--From publisher description.

Angry queer Somali boy : a complicated memoir / by Ali, Mohamed Abdulkarim,1985-author.(CARDINAL)863756;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-192)."Writing from a homeless shelter in downtown Toronto, Mohamed "Mo" Ali chronicles how he ended up there in this powerful and often irreverent memoir of exile, addiction, and racism. Kidnapped by his father on the eve of Somalia's societal implosion, Ali was taken first to the Netherlands by his stepmother, and then on to Canada. With its promise of freedom, opportunity, and multiculturalism, his new home seemed to offer a new lease on life. But unable to fit in, he turned to partying and drugs. Interwoven with world history and sociopolitical commentary on Somalia, Canada, and Europe, the story of this gay Muslim immigrant is told with tenderness in a refreshing and welcome new voice. Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali lives in Toronto. This is his first book."--Machine generated contents note: Xamar Jajab, or Broken Hamar -- Torn Desert Flowers -- The Dutch Disease -- (S)he Does Not Know Her Beauty -- The Great White North -- Bienvenue a Toronto -- The Past in Pictures -- A Place of No Abiding Use -- Gentrification of the Mind -- A Rain-Bearing Cloud at Night -- The Span of My Uncertain Years -- Run, Mohamed, Run -- There Were Nights That Can Never Be Forgotten -- The Morass of Vice and Libertinage -- Brave Old World -- Flames Ravaging His Glowing Hair.
