O knihe

Hear me: Even though they sometimes intersect, morality, love and sex are separate matters. I assure you, too, that only when women have the whole dominion over their bodies can everyone be equal, and full equality of all people will be a sure foundation for a peaceful world. Lori is young, beautiful, smart, and ambitious: all qualities that serve her well working in the competitive Los Angeles sex industry. Accustomed to the struggles of a lower-middle class upbringing, she vows never to go back-only forward. Seeking independence in a society driven by materialism, her work lets her sample life in the upper class, but she must fight to keep her sex and romantic lives, and her perception of self, balanced in the process. A hopeful romantic unable to find a perfect fit among a steady stream of suitors, Lori comes to realize what is missing lies within another woman. But will her career destroy her first real love?Lori navigates a double life, while her irresistible impulsiveness leads her on romps through Paris, the island of Saint Martin and the entertainment business. When an unlikely friendship forms between Lori and a client, Jonathan, the ethical waters grow murky. For Lori and Jonathan, the bathtub stands in for the philosopher's study. Here they share secrets they can tell no one else, tackling some of life's most enduring questions while the water grows cold. Jonathan has long worked hard to maintain his failing marriage for the sake of his son; his relationship with Lori prompts him to analyze the border between reality and escapism, and the role love, in its many facets, plays in his life. Meanwhile, Lori contends with the scorn society casts on her work.Girls Have Dreams Too tells the gripping story of one woman's journey toward self-love and acceptance, along the way humanizing those in her occupation and making a powerful case for its legalization.
