"A brave and entertaining account of a life in sex work that explodes popular myths," Jerry Barnett, author of Porn Panic.

 

 

"Fiery and unashamed in its brutal honesty, this character study by Melissa Todd is often humorous and surprisingly vulnerable, with moments of intimacy punctuating its raw skin." Seb Reilly, editor of Seaside Gothic.
