Call Me Elizabeth: Wife, Mother, Escort

by Dawn Annandale

Dawn Annandale is bright, witty, and well educated. But when her marriage began to fall apart, she had to face a seemingly insurmountable pile of debts on her own. Determined that her children would not suffer because of their parents' mistakes, and with no family to turn to for help, she searched desperately for a way to make some money, and fast. And made the decision to become an escort. Here she offers an insight into the sex industry in the UK today, as well as the shocking truth that increasing numbers of women in a similar situation to Dawn are turning to prostitution to make ends meet. It is by turns sad, funny, frightening, and empowering, but it is above all honest and compelling. From Emanuelle to Pretty Woman , the life of an escort remains deeply fascinating. There will be those who will judge the author, but there will be many more who will recognize her dilemma and understand how she reached her decision. This is her story—decide for yourself.
