Mia is nineteen, too mentally ill and too often on drugs to keep a ‘straight’ job so she starts working at a massage parlour. She takes to sex work with recklessness, aplomb and good humour.
As she works her way through Sydney’s many rub-and-tug joints, Mia, or Sasha as she is now known, meets women from every walk of life who choose sex work for myriad reasons. While negotiating the demands of her new job, she battles her problematic drug use, and the mental illness that has shaped her life. But rather than needing saving from sex work, it is the work that saves Mia from her many demons.
This captivating memoir is not only told with raw candour, humility and grace, it also announces the arrival of a startlingly talented Australian writer.
