First sentence: EVERY THURSDAY AT NOON I have sex with Rick in room #213 of the Rainbow Motel.
Description: "In this powerful, often lyrical memoir, a woman learns to value herself - as a whole person rather than as a sexual object. Recounting her past experiences as part of her journey toward recovery, Sue William Silverman explores her skewed belief that sex is love, a belief that began with her father's sexual abuse from her early childhood into adolescence.".

"She tells of college years in Boston, an early marriage in Galveston, and a roller-coaster life of sex and self-destructive behavior. Finally, addicted to danger itself, she hits bottom emotionally and spiritually. At this point, with the help of a trusted therapist, Silverman begins to discover the difference between the high of dangerous encounters and the more reliable promise of love."--BOOK JACKET.
