Born into a troubled family, Moran left home at the age of fourteen, and was driven into prostitution to survive. With intelligence and empathy, she describes the exploitation she and others endured on the streets and in the brothels. Moran also speaks to the psychological damage inherent to prostitution and the inevitable estrangement from one's body. At twenty-two, Moran escaped the sex trade, and now explores its lingering influence on a woman's psyche and life.

A real wake up call about the belief that prostitution can be anything other than anti-woman and anti-feminist. Moran makes incredible points and lets research along with personal experience speak the truth here. There is no sentiment to be found here; just clear eyed reasoning.
