It's My Story, and I'm Sticking to It: From the Streets to Survival
No Customer Reviews
It's My Story, and I'm Sticking to It is a powerful memoir about one woman's journey through childhood abuse, domestic violence, prostitution, and imprisonment. While in prison, Kathleen Mitchell founded the DIGNITY program to help incarcerated women transition out of the life of prostitution, heal their emotional wounds, and re-enter society. After her release, the jail-based DIGNITY transformed into a community program with transitional houses, support for women, and Diversion programs to educate about the negative effects prostitution has on communities, families, and everyone involved.
The darkness of the journey is made bearable by Kathleen's unconquerable sense of humor and relentless determination. Along the way, she reflects on the different factors that force women into "the life", and she discusses the links between prostitution, trafficking, substance abuse, poverty, and violence.
Honest, unflinching, and written with love and respect for all the women she met, Kathleen's memoir proves it is possible to survive the streets and make a difference in the lives of others. It's My Story is recommended both for survivors and those who work in programs to help survivors. And for those women still caught in "the life", it is a much-needed beacon of hope.
