"...an honest look into a world rarely spoken about in polite company." -Alexandria Sure, author of Mister Manhattan "...dives into the reality behind the fantasy of exotic dance..." -Anne H. Putnam, author of Navel Gazing: One Woman's Quest for a Size Normal "...is about hope and the fierce determination that can turn hope into a better life." -Amy Buttery Raised in a household of poverty and an oppressive, fear-based religion she longs to escape, Holly Mayes finds herself drawn from the dispiriting constraints of her childhood into another confining world-one where men call all the shots. Although temporarily enamored by the money, glamour, and popularity of the world of exotic dancing, the confidence she finds on the stripper pole as she captivates and manipulates men eventually turns to disdain and hopelessness. In her pursuit of purpose and passion, the same strength that she used to navigate the stage at the Dreamgirls club becomes her lifeline to a better future. Despite fateful choices, misfortune, and missteps, she finds resilience and redemption in the power of her dreams, and in turn, a purpose beyond money and fame.
