Overview

Aphrodite Phoenix authored Are They Bad Girls or Brilliant?. That epic-sized tome shouts the worldwide plain truth that prostitutes won't go away. Sex workers exist, universally persist, and they doggedly endure the world's hatred. Phoenix enlightens the world as to why. This second book is her mission to powerfully expose truth with fiction. Here you will find irrefutable proof that Show don't tell is a wise adage. Phoenix is a young-looking grandma. She's into healthy living, and it's working. Her true age, when told, is amazing. But she also radiates the understanding you'd expect from a woman who remembers exactly where she was on the day JFK was gunned down. Or from the mother of a filmmaker who ran south with his camera to the mass grave in Lower Manhattan, on that morning. Or from the grandmother of the babies of a crackhead. Phoenix has been around. She's been a desperately poor single mother, and then a thriving but persecuted sex worker. Her cheekbone has been fractured by a husband. Her trust has been betrayed by a lover. Members of her family have abused her. Professional liars have tricked her. But all of that has only been a hiccup. Because Phoenix lost her mother when she was a child, and then she lost her child as a mother. It's all here, from this vibrant, ever-bold Sixties Child with the will to stay upbeat and loving. Her narratives will move anyone, no matter what age, to say: If she still loves life, then I can.

Author Information

The author's penname is an homage. She honors both the goddess of sexual love and the mythical bird that rose flying high and free from the ashes of chaos and destruction. The archetypes are appropriate symbols of her sensual, nurturing nature and her tragic-turned-triumphant life experience. Phoenix is a retiring sex worker who holds a B.A. in English. She's been an ardent author/advocate for sex workers' rights since the nineteen-nineties. A New Yorker, she resides near the seashore, in Massachusetts.
