Memoirs of a Sex Industry Survivor Overviews
For Juliet, the "life", or the world of prostitution, started off as a game. But then the "game" took over. First she became addicted to the fast, constant, easy money, then to turning tricks into "sugar daddies".
As Juliet begins to heal from her life as prostituted teen, she meets other sex industry survivors. Their similarities change her perspective on the sex industry for good. For most sexe industry survivors, prostitution is a re-enactment of childhood sexual exploitation.
Like Juliet, these women mistankenly believed that prostitution would help them regain the power that had been stolen from them. Ultimately, this decision often proved to be soul-destroying, self-destructive, and for far too many, lethal.

Memoirs of a Sex Industry SurvivorCustomerRewiew
From one survivor to another- this is the best book I've ever read. I couldn't put it down. I cried, laughed and cried again. In the end they were tears of joy knowing I made it out and "Yes, it was THAT hard to get out!" No one has the authority to speak on said topic unless they have been there. And not many who have been there in the underbelly of society we call the "sex-trade" come out-PERIOD. Let alone, finding their voice, articulating it and then actually putting constructive thought to word into action. The painful events that more often than not occur, as did in Anne Bissell's story, leading up to her life prior to her ascent into the sex-trade often keep one ever from attaining any much more greater mental health after leaving the sex-trade then they had perhaps acquired prior to just entering the sex-trade. BUT- that is not the case with Anne. She is not a floozy. She is not uneducated or delusional. She is wise. Wise before the "sex-trade" but even wiser now. This story so accurately retells the absolute TRUTH of what it is to suffer at the core level from a deep penetrating soul sickness. One that has been built upon by layers and layers of abuse, abandonment and betrayal. This is a story of identification, ownership, understanding and ultimately triumph!
