And I Survived:: A Working Girl'S Memoir And More

It seemed like a good idea - stripping to earn a little money for travelling and tuition - but for Hope, that decision led to a black hole of sexual exploitation, prostitution, pimps, drugs, and black magic. And then, after heroically climbing out of that dark place, establishing a loving relationship, finding a trusted spiritual guide, and resuming her studies, she suffered a near-lethal stroke and aneurysm. Her doctors cannot explain how she survived. But survive she did, not once but twice, the second time from a virulent staph infection. Believing that God has spared her life for a reason, Hope has dictated her memoir and now offers her story of self-discovery as inspiration for others. This is an unconventional and unfiltered first-hand account and therefore all the more valuable for anyone who wants to understand life on the streets of Canada's big cities. Hope is unabashedly pro sexual pleasure; she celebrates the marketing skills she honed as she plied her trade, and the ethic of hard work and honesty that has always guided her. Her many dealings with the health care system have left her keenly aware of its shocking limitations. She lifts the veil on the surprisingly common practice of spiritualism. But above all, her generous and indomitable spirit shines through, making this memoir an uplifting experience for any reader. Adult Content. Parental Supervision Advised.
