I first saw Traci Lords in a re-run episode of Roseanne, I had no idea who she was until the man in my life informed me of her past. I remember thinking to myself, what is it that prompts women and men alike into the porn industry. I remember statistics and figured her childhood had been traumatic and unfortunately I was right.
Her story is more than just her life as a porn star but more about finding the ability to love and respect herself because it had been taken from her violently at age 10.
Don't expect eroticism from this book because she has clearly and thankfully left that harmful chapter of her life behind her nor is it about the inner workings of the porn industry.
Her writing is raw, emotional and at times scattered but the honesty behind her words makes the read worth the time. After reading this memoir you will look at her in a different way, I know I do.
