She opens up about the sexual abuse, deep father wounds, manipulation, coercion, soul ties, and trauma bonds that shaped her world—and the sickening lies that kept her bound. Alia exposes shocking details of the darkness behind the adult entertainment industry pornography and sex trafficking, including the drugs, suicide rates, corruption, and tactics used to lure and exploit young women.
