'Women sell themselves short doing things they hate in search of money or security or emotional
fulfillment,' says writer Carmen Delzell. For some this means staying in a bad marriage, to keep a roof
overhead or for the children's sake; for some it means prostitution. Delzell shares conversations with
women of diverse backgrounds -- a former prostitute, a woman who has suffered an abusive marriage,
an exotic dancer -- and reveals the threads that bind their experiences, and those of all women,
together.
