"My attention was immediately riveted by this novel, a fresh look at material I wasn't sure could be made fresh until I began reading. Even when you've been there, it's easy to forget that strippers work hard for whatever money they make, are often tempted to put themselves in humiliating and dangerous situations, frequently look out for each other, and sometimes call their mothers to cry after a particularly bad night. Elyn Selu knows all this and turns it into a fastpaced, absorbing, extremely moving tale. Read her book. You may be shocked or saddened, but you won't be disappointed." -Poppy Z. Brite, author of LIQUOR
