Nancy is full of contradictory desires -- she frequently has to choose between making love and making money. On good days, she gets to do both. Surrounded by devoted, wealthy and powerful johns, some of who want more than just sex, and stuck in the middle of two call girl friends who don't like each other -- not to mention an unwitting fiance -- Nancy, in soap opera fashion, navigates through the tricky modern terrain of the world's oldest profession. She's not apologetic or ashamed of her work -- quite the opposite -- and she's completely in control of her own career. Her life, on the other hand, is not so straightforward, and, as her story unfolds, the various people in her world, including her parents and a government snoop, all threaten to crash into each other.
Based on the highly successful salon.com column of the same name, this novel continues where it left off. Funny, insightful, and dead on, Nancy Chan's Diary will redefine our thinking about the sex trade.
