"Passion and sincerity make this a fine choice." --Library Journal
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Project New Life founder Usry helps individuals who want to change their lives by getting out of prostitution. Written in simple, straightforward, but affecting language, her book draws the reader into a world that most most of us seldom, if ever, encounter. Through myriad firsthand accounts, we are introduced to prostitutes, pimps, johns, drug users, gang members, underworld figures, and law enforcement officers as they interact in the streets of the red-light district, the city park, and rundown hotels and motels. In spite of putting herself, her family, and her home in danger to the point of having to relocate, social worker Usry has persevered, currently carrying both her cause and her work to the national level and demonstrating how one determined individual can make a difference. Her passion and sincerity in handling a difficult issue make this a fine choice for public libraries.
