Book Reviews of The Secret Lives of Hyapatia Lee
Book Review: Courageous, honest, and from the heart
Summary: 5 Stars
Hyapatia gives a fascinating view into the adult entertainment business from a woman's perspective, as an insider who saw many changes in the industry over a period of about 15 years. You will learn of her struggle to overcome a painful childhood of neglect and outright abuse while keeping the strong spirit inside her alive. In fact, one of the strengths of this book is that it is inspiring - - Hyapatia survived to tell about her life, and in doing so, attempts to raise awareness to improve the lives of others who experienced similar treatment.
Hyapatia reveals the truth regarding many myths and misunderstandings about adult film actresses - - their motivations, backgrounds, and a realistic account of how much money they earn. Much of it is surprising. Before you judge anyone for making the choice to become an adult film performer, you should understand some of the reasons that can lead a person to this way of earning a living.
This book gives an honest assessment of the emotional and financial pros and cons of performing as an adult entertainer. It's a must-read for women who would consider going into this business. Hyapatia rightfully defends our freedom to watch and enjoy sexually oriented material, while lobbying for better treatment and respect for the industry's performers. After all, there should be mutual respect between audience and performers, since they cannot exist without each other.
