Lyn Madden worked for twenty years as a prostitute until one night she watched her lover and pimp throw a firebomb through the window of a house killing three women. That shocking murder enabled her to summon ups the courage to denounce her lover to the police. Here, in Lyn's own voice, she begins her story with a police-escort up the gangplank of a ferry, fleeing Ireland in the hope of a safer future. Lyn struggles against the ex-lovers, abusers and demons that continue to haunt her and her children. But through therapy and education Lyn undergoes an impressive evolution from prostitution to a contributing member of society. This is a wonderful story of a woman who got a chance later in life to try to put herself on a better course away from the world of crime and exploitation.
