description: This is the autobiography of Jessi Winchester, who made worldwide headlines in the mid-1990s as a legal prostitute who competed in the Mrs. Nevada beauty pageant and later ran for Congress and Nevada lieutenant governor. The book brings the real world of legal bordello prostitution in Nevada to light and contains firsthand accounts of corruption and political dirty tricks in Nevada among both major parties. Her inspirational journey documents the strength of the human spirit in refusing to be held back by society's labels and limitations, and one woman's determination to help others and succeed -- against all odds. Now retired from the bordellos, Winchester is a Nevada-based businesswoman and activist.
