註釋
When Cheryl Summerton first stumbled across the world of prostitution through the internet, she had no inkling of what would follow. Curious and adventurous by nature, however, she soon embarked, in her fifties, on life as a working girl--in sharp contrast to the formality of her career in healthcare. Within the hierarchy of prostitution--revolutionized by modern computer technology and cell phone communication--is a large but little-known middle-of-the-road market, highlighted here. This fascinating, insightful, outrageous, and hilarious real-life story takes a fresh and frank look at its whole lifestyle. The changing and developing relationships with Cheryl's main clients are woven throughout, together with glorious cameos of "lesser players," for it is her encounters and her personal voyage of discovery through her year of "menopausal madness" which inspired this book.Why does prostitution thrive? What are the moral issues? Citing marriages saved, inadequacies addressed, and honest friendship as part of the "therapy," should it be legalized? A (mostly) upbeat tale of exceptional human interest, this makes a truly intriguing read.
