Product Description

Product Description

As a child, Carla van Raay experienced a trauma that changed her forever. Burdened by the weight of this terrible secret, all she wanted to do was survive. Life as a nun promised refuge from the outside world. At the age of 18, Carla van Raay entered a convent to devote her life to God. By 35 she was earning her living as a prostitute. Carla had hoped to find love and understanding within the convent walls. Instead she became enmeshed in a complex system of cruel regulations that drove her to the brink of madness. Finally released from her vows, she escaped back into the 'real' world. A hasty marriage and separation left Carla with a daughter to support. With few professional skills to rely on from her years as a nun, she turned to another age-old profession - prostitution. She worked as an escort to learn the ropes, then struck out on her own, setting up a massage service. God's Callgirl was born. At first she relished her new-found sexuality, but when eventually the darker side of the business began to assert itself, Carla was forced to confront the tortuous secrets of her past.


From the Publisher

The moving and inspirational story of a women who turned from nun to prostitute, before finally confronting the demons of her past

1.0 out of 5 stars Such a struggle to finish it, 15 April 2007
By G. Murphy "Grá" (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked this up in Heathrow because it seemed like it was going to be an easy read and good for travelling. I was so disappointed. The first part of the book, when she is a nun, is reasonably interesting. When she becomes a callgirl it becomes unbelievably dull. I felt no empathy with her whatsoever. She never took responsibility for any of her actions and it turned into a boring list of relationships she messed up. Granted, she had a miserable childhood...but I don't think that excuses her writing such a drawn out book. It's a pity her editor wasn't as vigorous in the editing as she was in her massage parlour. I never would have thought a book about a nun who becomes a hooker could be dull and painful to read, but she managed it. I really would not spend the money on this. I struggled so hard to make myself finish it. Felt like my penance for the year!

1.0 out of 5 stars DREADFUL rubbish?!, 31 Oct 2007
Read it & review it for yourself, but for god's sake borrow a copy cos it's not worth a penny.
Complete rubbish bearing no resemblence to the industry let alone reality; the part about her soul being seperated from her body as an excuse was highly amusing tho!

1.0 out of 5 stars God's Callgirl - Don't Waste Your Time!!, 2 Sep 2007
I brought this book last year as one of my holiday reads. Usually I get through a good book in 5 - 10 days but I have only just finished this one! Let me explain briefly why!
The book starts off okay - in fact the first third of the book was quite good detailing Carla van Raay's childhood and her reasons for entering the convent (nothing out of this world though - hardly page-turning).
The second third of the book dragged terribly. I expected it to be eye-opening as far as revealing the in's and out's of convent life and describing some juicy 'what goes on behind closed doors' facts. Not so, it was painfully dull.
This was when I gave up on it for a year - but an unfinished book bugs me so I picked it up again this year to read the final third.
Carla's demise into prostitution.
Well the only way I can describe the last third is ridiculous - and written extremely uninspiringly. As if Carla was writing her memoirs under duress.
I feel like my time reading this book was a waste of time - it was disappointing.
