I had to follow the persistent, uncomfortable pull of truth, wherever it would lead me.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the outside looking in, the young life of Mia Doering seemed unremarkable, as she pursued her studies at a prominent Dublin art college, immersed in a vibrant social scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnbeknownst to those around her, however, Mia's life was anything but ordinary. At age sixteen, she had been sexually exploited by an older man, which carved a direct path into the Irish sex trade, where she remained for several years until finally leaving it behind over a decade ago, at age twenty-four.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her literary memoir Mia, a psychotherapist specialising in sexual trauma, excavates her difficult history as she sets about integrating her past with her present-day life. Along the way, she presents an ardent and intelligent refutation of a culture that affirms and applauds the industrialised sexual violation of women and girls, ultimately offering something more precious - a way forward for society bedded in true understanding and compassion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAny Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is a ferociously honest, intensely tender and utterly unforgettable book that is as thought-provoking as it is timely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doering, Mia","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47413147009363,"sku":"XV81529371819","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":47501775864147,"sku":"XG81529371819","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":42324389429433,"sku":"9781529371819","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/doering-mia-mia-doring-any-girl-a-memoir-of-sexual-exploitation-and-recovery-2022-paperback-57846098755923.jpg?v=1726936335","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/any-girl-a-memoir-of-sexual-exploitation-and-recovery-tpb-w2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
