My book is part memoir, part social critique - an exploration of having been a prostitute thirty years ago, and how that fact - both as a secret and otherwise - fits into my life, as well as how prostitution fits into the story of civilization. It deals broadly with identity and civilization, with secrets and soul, storytelling and eros. It's a story of authenticity, of transgression, of causes, of healing; a story of disclosure, the impact of secrets, and the sacred feminine. The book addresses many aspects of our culture: poverty, power, gender. It addresses them from a perspective that's usually excluded from the conversation.
