A Prostitute's Guide To Success: My Life, Struggles And Successes

The influx of technology into Silicon Valley brought unaccustomed luxuries to many residents, along with a craving for fast money and sex.

As she made her way in the alluring culture of Silicon Valley's rich and famous, she spent time as an exotic dancer, a prostitute, and a girlfriend of NFL players. In this powerful memoir, Billops relates her struggles with poverty, racism, and other obstacles with the brutal honesty of someone who dealt with the challenges head on.
