Call Me Elizabeth: Wife, Mother, Escort
Author: Dawn Annandale

A frank, funny and shocking memoir of one woman's struggle to free her family from debt - by becoming an escort.

Dawn Annandale is bright, witty and well educated. But when her marriage began to fall apart, she had to face a seemingly insurmountable pile of debts on her own. Determined that her children would not suffer because of their parents' mistakes, and with no family to turn to for help, she searched desperately for a way to make some money, and fast. And made the decision to become an escort. CALL ME ELIZABETH offers an insight into the sex industry in the UK today, as well as the shocking truth that increasing numbers of women in a similar situation to Dawn are turning to prostitution to make ends meet. It is by turns sad, funny, frightening and empowering, but it is above all honest and compelling. From Emanuelle to Pretty Woman, the life of an escort remains deeply fascinating. There will be those who will judge the author, but there will be many more who will recognise her dilemma and understand how she reached her decision. This is her story - decide for yourself.

'Both funny and shocking at times, this is extraordinarily honest stuff.' HOT STARS '[An] incredible story . . . a touching account of her life to date' SOUTH LONDON PRESS

  review - call me elizabeth

wow!!! honest, shocking - could not put it down!!!! one of the best biographies i have ever read. the fact that this woman is/was a mother just like me (same age etc.) made is easy to associate with her. amazing the fact how - even after selling her body and soul for her children - she never lost her temper with her kids or "blamed" them for the situation. strong, gutsy woman who would do what any mother in the same situation would do...
