Superhooker: Secret Selves and the Sex Industry by Amber Libra is no ordinary story. It is the story of five women whose lives are ruined by the kind of “work” they have committed themselves to. It is the tragic story of Ashley, Michelle, Zoe, Shelly and Nicola: a prostitute in Berlin, a lap dancer in Crete, a stripper "with a personality", a dancer in Copenhagen who is too scared to talk to the clients and a phone sex worker who hates her job.The characters in the stories are slaves who get on the metro at seven in the morning, sick and strained from trying to fit into a mold that is not really their size or shape. They are thirsty for love, but tired of their lovers. They are left out in the cold. Disoriented and secretive, they use sex, men and their body to make money. They are sick, strained.The author Amber Libra has worked in the sex industry as a stripper and a prostitute. And she knows what she is writing about. While she has been fortunate enough to break free, there are others who cannot, and are not willing to break free. They have their reasons, their stories. In a way, this small book, Superhooker: Secret Selves and the Sex Industry by Amber Libra, is the voice of many of them. Waiting to be heard, waiting to be read!
