Terry Angelos reflects on a childhood shaped by the Rhodesian bush war, white privilege, racism and instability before her family moves to South Africa. At nineteen she travels to London and is gradually drawn from hostess work into high-class sex work, drugs and an increasingly dangerous life. Set against South Africa's political unrest in 1989, the memoir examines how rebellion, trauma and the need for attention influenced her choices. With dark humour and unflinching honesty, Terry traces her descent, survival and difficult journey toward faith, self-understanding and reinvention.
