Beauty Queen

Hello!
This book is by Linda Glovach. Sam, a girl whom used to be good, is pressured about her mom's boyfriend (Reed) always drinking together. Reed beats up her mom when he's drunk while her mom passes out. They live on her mom's money which is running out. Now money desperate Sam finds a better job for more money than washing dishes. She joins the Web, a nude dancing place. Sam shows off some moves and she's accepted. All that she needs to do is to take off her top around men. She goes to take a sip of her mom's booze in the washroom, and finds a fellow dancer taking herion with a needle. She asks for some and she feels beautiful. Out the washroom she goes, and off goes the top. She makes $408 for dancing topless... As she gets popular, the creepy men come. Once a guy called her nasty names and tried to touch her. he came over and stuck his face down her....
Read it to find out!
I thought this book taught me about not to take this certain job. I thought this book would be better if her job wasn't nude dancing.

Rachel,

It is sometimes good to stretch yourself and your reading. This is not your usual choice from what I see in the blog.

To be honest, this is not one I would probably run to read because of the subject matter.

It is good to see things beyond our own little world.
