Industry Reviews "Acknowledging her own feelings (which range from disgust to profound respect), Albert convincingly dispels myths about this mysterious world and provides a strong defense for the legalization of prostitution." Publishers Weekly (03/12/2001)
"Part serious reflection on the realities of working in the sex industry, part fluffy expose, what Albert has to say is worth noting, if you can disregard how she says it. Think feature story in Oprah's O magazine, nestled somewhere between the life lessons and the daily goals calendar." Nation - Leah Platt (07/09/2001)
