The author of this book, let's call her Eve, has a unique perspective on life as a sex worker. She wears multiple hats: that of a partner, a mother, and a member of the sex industry. It's inspiring to encounter humor and a faint glimmer of hope in her writing, as Jo Brand aptly describes it. "Unflinching" is a fitting adjective for this book, as it delves into the realities of Eve's experiences throughout her twenty-year career in the sex industry. Whether working in a brothel, as an escort, in a strip club, online, or as a dominatrix, Eve has seen it all. In this candid memoir, she shares her journey in full, revealing both the highs and lows, the good times, and the downright ugly. We accompany her on a journey as she visits wealthy clients at their Caribbean villas, witness her legal battles from the public gallery, and stand by her side in a cell as she reflects on the true essence of freedom. We also share her emotional rollercoaster as she discovers she's pregnant and her body is tasked with the incredible journey of growing and giving birth to a baby.

Eve's writing is honest, eye-opening, and filled with a fierce rage that occasionally breaks through the surface. It provides a unique insight into the hidden corners of society, offering a unforgettable walk in someone else's high heels. While Eve's real name is a pseudonym, any resemblance to living or deceased individuals is purely coincidental.
