Strip: A Memoir

By Hannah Sward

Book Overview

Born in the bohemian seventies, Hannah Sward was abandoned by her mother, and lived with her poet father on an island with no stores or cars. Kidnapped and molested by a stranger at age six, she grew up to be a stripper and a prostitute with a taste for crystal meth-which seemed to be a sure-fire way to lose weight --with stops along the way for silent gurus, sugar daddies, and drinking in the CVS bathroom before therapy sessions. Painstakingly honest, often humorous, Strip is a heartfelt memoir revealing a woman's journey from innocence to a dark existence, and beyond it to a world of empowerment.

Poetic and wonderfully told

I could not stop reading this book. Hannah’s way of writing is poetic and beautiful. I was able to get a sense of her experience and also have a picture painted so I could imagine being in the story. To read her life in snippets and to get an understanding of how she was able to change and grow was something incredible to witness.
