Face Value: From Working The Pole To Baring My Soul - 9781946274915

Face Value: From Working the Pole to Baring My Soul is Less Than Zero meets Miami Vice but with more make-up and hairspray. It is the story of a beautiful, free-spirited, wide-eyed little girl from the island of O`ahu who has no childhood memories before the age of nine. What trauma could have erased her early life; she may never know. What she does know, is that for as far back as she can remember these events influenced her unusual life. Christine tells her story with raw, honest, relatable, and no holds barred writing, taking us through the pain of her adolescence compounded by a rare skin disease that left her face permanently disfigured. Her darkest moments include drug addiction and dancing nude on stages in Waikiki. In Face Value: From Working the Pole to Baring My Soul, we experience life behind the typical island backdrop of coconuts and palm trees, falling headlong into the underground world of adult entertainment where Christine spent nearly a decade trying to find her self-worth.Face Value: From Working the Pole to Baring My Soul is a moving account of Christine's life that will strike at the heart and funny bone with utmost precision. It also reminds us that children from toxic childhoods can find a way out of the darkness-even after living a life of debauchery and countless missteps. Her story will fill your heart with empathy and move you to tears through laughter, all while relating to its message: Give purpose to your pain, and self-worth comes from within. We are reminded that everyone has a story, our darkness does not define us, and that having a sense of humor throughout it all is a must.
