OK, I saw this post about the book: Dance to Despair (Memoirs of an exotic dancer by Rebeckka Sathen Black)
I actually just read it this past week. There have been a few books out recentely like this. Still the best one is by Lilly Burnana, Strip City, I think it's called. I read that a while ago.
This book just seemed too far fetched. I was reading it thinking, come on....granted this all supposedly happened years ago....it was kind of unbelievable, many parts of it were. I'm sure some was based on real events. But it read like fiction to me. I was disappointed in it.
I toyed with writing a book back in 2003 after I quit dancing and it seems many girls have jumped on that bandwagon. I couldn't believe how many books I found on Amazon about "stripper memoirs".
More power to this author, but the book was a dissappointment for me.
Has anyone else read it yet?

Sounds much too much like the fake kudos it gets on amazon.com

) would do for stripping what Anthony Bourdain did for professional cooking with his Kitchen Confidential--that book is soooo much fun to read! I can't think of a book about dancing that even comes close to being that entertaining. Strip City comes closest, I'd say...
