  • The Hooker's Daughter 

    with Dale Stanten

    My memoir, The Hooker’s Daughter, is a story of a life dictated by shame and discontent.  It traces the path of a young woman from childhood, through bewildered adolescence, to wife, mother, widow, successful entrepreneur and author. The story is about trauma, survival, and triumph.

    While I should have been playing with Barbie & Ken, I was dealing with "Johns" who were ringing the doorbell constantly – a nightmare no kid should experience.  

    My childhood fantasy was to have a mom who made chicken soup and a father who supported his family…just like other households in our tight-knit Jewish community. 

    Instead, friends were forbidden to play with me and I was thrown out of the Girl Scouts because I, too, might be a sinner.
