Book excerpt: Chars was a nice girl when she was young, all pretty and good and made from sugar and spice. Then she grew up and boys started to look at her differently. When her old friends, the twins reenter her life, they direct her towards a new career in taking advantage of her power over men. Within a short stretch of time she goes from her humble background as a waitress in a cafe to dancer and then a stripper. The money starts to roll in. She seemed to be on top of the world. If only I had realised. This is not a story about love and romance. This is not a story about redemption. This is a warning about the world we live in.
