Description

Offering a firsthand look at the sex trade in South Africa, these memoirs tell the story of Margaret (a.k.a. "Rachael"), who becomes a prostitute at 38 in order to lift her family from poverty.

This sobering tale is told with a wicked wit and remarkable depth that gives readers a rare glimpse into a world that is often treated with scorn and misunderstanding by society.

In Margaret's long road through life, escorting is but one in a series of ups and downs--including abusive husbands, addiction, bereavement, a traumatic stay in a psychiatric ward and, worst of all, having her family torn apart by a faceless bureaucracy.

But Margaret's story is tempered by a real compassion for women who, like herself, are forced to sell themselves to keep body and soul together.
