Definitely One Of Her Better Titles...

As a corporate lawyer's wife, Erika Holland spends her time shopping, attending parties and planning dinners to enhance her husband's climb up the corporate ladder. Until one day she recieves a call from a lawyer informing her that her husband has filed for divorce, taken up with a younger woman, cleaned out the bank accounts and fled to Switzerland. Because he is out of the country, alimony & child support cannot be enforced. Furthermore, unless their daughter Rena remains at an out-of-the-country boarding school, he will no longer finance her education. Devastated, Erika takes some classes and finds a job, but she can barely pay her rent. She feels forced to leave Rena in the boarding school. Then Erika is offered more than a weeks wage to attend a party as a paid escort. Though not required, if she wants to go further with her hook-up after the party, she can make even more money. And the kinkier she is willing to get, the more clients the agency will send her way. It doesn't take long till she is once again living lavishly. Throughout it all, she has tried - to no avail - to develop a relationship with her now estranged daughter. Rena knows nothing about her mom, has barely talked to her over the years and remains cold, distant and angry. But when her mom is critically injured, Rena reluctantly returns home, where she learns more about her mom, her dad -and maybe even herself - than she ever bargained for... ...Interesting, thought provoking plot as to character and moral judgements of others with insight into the world of high-class prostitution.
