À propos de cet audio
Called "Quite simply in a class of its own... the work of a stunningly talented writer who both graces and surpasses her material" (Guardian), this is the frank, harrowing, and true story of one young woman's descent into heroin addiction and prostitution and the long, arduous struggle to redeem her life that made her stronger. A shy, bookish college graduate from a solid middle-class home, Kate Holden was uncertain of her way in life. When she decided to try her first hit of heroin as a one-time adventure with friends, she did not anticipate that the drug would take over. She lost her job and apartment and stole from her family. Desperation drove her first to offer her body on the streets and then in high-class brothels, where she discovered hidden strengths as well as parts of herself that frightened her. With the acceptance and unyielding love of a family that never abandoned her, Kate Holden ultimately defeated the drug and left her netherworld behind.

Choppy
Cavalier, this was very dry. I felt like I wanted to know and understand but was an outsider (customer).

ok story, terrible narrator
I did listen to the whole thing, just wishing the narrator didn't sound so much like a 75 yr old woman. it made the story feel so much older than it was.

The journey of recovery
The book was good - it did lull in some spots, and was anticlimactic, but I did enjoy hearing about the authors journey. Thank you for sharing such intimate parts of your life with the world

Interesting listen; terrible narrator
Now I see why so many people have mentioned the narrator’s voice. A different voice would have made it SO much better.
But it’s a very interesting dive into how an addict can rationalize their behavior… and a no-holds-barred look into what life working in a brothel is like.

Authentic story of addiction
I loved this story.
One I started listening, I was addicted!
This author beautifully describes her decent into addction and how she was able to sustain it working in the sex industry.
I feel grateful to know her story.

Not the best performance
The story was good, eye-opening into a world of addiction. The latter chapters were all about prostitution and was a little repetitive. It felt like my aunt was reading a book to me and she left her “voices” at home. Not your typical audiobook reading. Was a lackluster performance.

Raw and well written.
This memoir is so raw it hurts to listen to sometimes. I’ve always been fascinated by the addiction world as how humans can go down that path. Kate tells her own story of how that happens. It shows that it doesn’t take much to go from doing something just once and then it spiralling to how she found herself. Her strength and courage on being able to get out with the constant support of her family shows she’s very smart, strong willed and brave. Thank you for sharing your story and being so real. I really enjoyed it. Just a note of warning for some people, the sexual content is sometimes very explicit and graphic, but it was Kate’s reality.
