At 14, she ran away from a home for wayward girls, and fell into the hands of a 42-year-old criminal barrister.
Later, she was to learn that the barrister had paid her grandmother for her - she had, in fact been sold. It was just the first stage of a remarkable life including escaping Cambodia as it fell to the Khmer Rouge and working as a prostitute in Japan.
Barbara Biggs joins Jenni to talk about the incredible story of her life.
