First edition 2017, Revised Edition 2019
250 pages with 40 portrait photos by the author.
Portrays the shattered lives of girls next door who became crack, coke, opioid, and heroin addicts, and who in their hustle for drugs became streetwalkers and internet escorts. In jailhouse journals, interviews, and through their photograph portraits, they confess with candor and courage to their sex work and drug crimes
“Throughout, the stylized prose is full of dramatic turns of phrase….The stories are often engaging and tragic, and the best make the most of the subjects’ own words. Some speak with a remarkable, epigraphic honesty….The act of giving voices to voiceless figures in society is an admirable one, and the book effectively calls attention to the impact of addiction in one corner of New England….An intriguing, if sometimes-garish, account of the lives of troubled sex workers.” –- Kirkus Reviews
