More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Charlie Daniels started her career as a streetwalker when she was a seventeen-year-old single mother. Since she had virtually no qualifications, the streets seemed to offer the best way to get a comfortable and exciting life. Eventually she was forced to hand her over daughter to her own foster mother, just as she herself was given away nearly 20 years before. Charlie became one of the most successful Madams in the country, with a string of 50 girls working for her. By the time she was in her thirties, she had reached the pinnacle of her profession—but she had also realized just how shallow and meaningless her life was, and how much she wanted to get her daughter back before it was too late.
About the Author
Charlie Daniels was born and brought up in the north of England and, having worked at all levels of the sex industry and spent time in prison, she now campaigns on the issues of prostitution and women in jail. She lives in Leeds with her daughter.

If you are a reader who enjoys autobiographies which tell it as it is with no holding back, then this is a book for you. Having seen the book highlighted on the local news I decided that this is for me. Charlie talks about her sometimes very difficult life from walking the streets very early in her life to reaching the top of her profession by becoming a Madam, her journey is described with openness and honesty. You felt as though you were travelling through her life with her. You experience the distresses, especially the heartache of having to be parted from her beloved daughter, the lows as well as the highs. Charlie also describes her time in prison with such detail that you almost feel you are experiencing life in the prison with her and the strong camaraderie of the other women so much, that when she is released the very moving account she gives stays with you.
One's imagination is then filled with the charismatic and flamboyant lifestyle she led when she became a Madam. This lady also has a very witty and sharp mind and you will also find yourself laughing at her very dry sense of humour. What also comes across is her love of culture and the arts.
It was a book I did not want to end, and as well as giving us tremendous insight and awareness of one of the oldest professions it leaves you looking for more.

You will not find many books as open and honest as Priceless written by Charlie Daniels. Her life story is here and what a life! This is a compelling autobiography and it will touch your heart. Make sure that when you open this book at Page 1 that you have a couple of hours or so to spare because like me you won't be able to put it down again until you get to the end. Charlie Daniels difficult childhood and life as a single mum leading her into a life of vice as a working girl are truthfully and dramatically described. Her rise from walking the streets to the top of the sex industry are colourfully brought to life. Her description of life in prison will change your views for ever. Highly recommended read for the open and not so open minded!
