Dancing for Your Life: the True Story of Maria De La Torre and the Secret World of Hong Kong Go-go Bars Paul Strahan

DANCING FOR YOUR LIFE chronicles the true story of a beautiful, young Filipina who, in order to help her family financially, leaves her home in the quiet Philippines countryside to work as a dancer in Hong Kong's red-light district of Wan Chai. This book will hold special appeal for readers interested in gaining a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of an Asian go-go bar and will serve as a companion guide for individuals interested in cultural studies, gender studies, or spirituality. It presents a rare first-person account that is thought provoking and controversial. Here is the ?untold story? of faith, friendship, and sacrifice, but also of triumph and forgiveness.
