Julia Anderson

Dear john, The Diary of a Prostitute Julia Anderson

As an ex-prostitute, the author penned a collection of letters addressed to johns and other significant figures in her life from start-to-finish as a trafficked victim, confronting each individual with words on a page. "It required me to tell myself the truth and then get to a place where I could tell others as well. It was a journey through shame, through anger, through grief. Writing these letters made me push through just simply being "mad" at someone... It made me truly discover why. This book has been the foundation of my recovery." Though non a memoir, the book reads more like a collection of short stories of true crime, collectively taking you through one woman's eleven year journey in the sex trade, written by a survivor of human trafficking. The author's intent is to bring awareness to the role of demand on those entrapped and enslaved in the sex trade.
