A fast-paced, rollercoaster story of what a life of prostitution is really like and a young woman's struggles with herself, her self-image, and her addictions
 
Reformed addict Clare Gee draws on her own experiences of cocaine addiction, alcoholism, and prostitution in telling the sensational story of a woman living on the edge. Emotionally scarred by having never known her mother, Katie escapes to London and immerses herself in a seedy world of drugs, drink, and sex, chasing happiness in the bars and clubs, and snorting cocaine in private members' bars with her rich clients. Finding herself in a cycle of prostitution and unable to break free, she turns to drug smuggling and becomes embroiled in a bigamous marriage in an attempt to secure some emotional stability. From this dark emotional pit, Katie starts her painful journey back to wellness and attempts to rid herself of her addictions for good. This is a graphic tale of what life as a prostitute is really like and what can happen when people search for happiness outside of themselves.
Clare Geewas born in Africa in 1977 and sent to live in North Yorkshire with her English father when she was five. At 16 she moved to London, where she descended into a life of drink, drugs, and prostitution. After a period of rehabilitation in 2003, she rebuilt her life in London.
