A memoir about sex work and sexuality, and how writing became the author's lifeline, connecting her to other queer voices. Lambda Literary Award winner Amber Dawn's book reveals a poignant and personal landscape—the terrain of sex work, queer identity, and survivor pride. This memoir told in prose and poetry offers a frank, multifaceted portrait of the author's experience, from hustling the streets of Vancouver in the mid-90s to her present life as an outspoken feminist storyteller.
