Former Toronto escort pens memoir

[Doc Holliday]

This looks like a very interesting book to read. Too bad i never met 'Mary Ann'. She sounds interesting.

Personally, I think a good read about prostitution is one that will be sincere and tell the story as it truly happened. Life itself, can be good, bad and ugly at times, so a real, entertaining and relatable story will incorporate all three as it should naturally. I hate everything fake. I hate hearing stories like “ I became an escort because I love to fuck” or “I love what I do, this is my career” or “There’s absolutely nothing I hate about my job” or “This is the best job in the world”...


This isn't quite what you're looking for in terms of the author enjoying financial success from working in the sex industry, but I think you'd find it a fascinating read. Kate Holden's memoir is beautifully written, totally honest, and she speaks openly about her experiences (positive and negative) as a sex worker:

"Kate was a nice middle-class girl: a dreamy bookworm, a classics scholar and an innocent. In this memoir she chronicles in frank and beautifully crafted prose her descent into drug addiction and then prostitution."

Stunningly original!

You don't believe sad stories like that are possible?

These stories are of course possible and relatively frequent. The problem is with people teaching that this is what sex work is about. It ain't. You have extremes, the hell and the paradise. Few sex workers live there. Most live in between, heroine free.

The publisher's marketing department has certainly done the author no favours with their cliched and superficial synopsis of the book.

Nonetheless, if you actually read it, you'll see that it is indeed original. Her "descent" into drugs is not the result of desperate personal circumstances; instead, she willingly started taking heroin whilst being fully aware of the likely consequences, and she recognises her growing addiction. However, the point I was making is that I thought the book might interest Mocha LaMulata because of the author's detailed account of working in the sex industry - not her reasons for being in the industry.

The story hasn't been dramatised or "sexed-up" - far from it. Look beyond the marketing hype and you'll find an interesting, award-winning book.
