Pleasure to Purpose: Based on the True Story of Sex Worker Scarlett Pereira (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780989848671)

Scarlett's life had been anything but easy: raised in a family torn apart by mental illness, burdened with a mother who never wanted her, and haunted by a stalker who wouldn't leave her alone. Her only dream? To rescue horses, a dream she finally began to live when she adopted Marco, a hospice horse who offered her a glimpse of true happiness.

But as a sex worker navigating a dangerous world, Scarlett's journey was far from over.

Following the murder of a fellow sex worker, Scarlett became politically active on behalf of sex worker rights. Her newfound confidence spurred her to build a relationship with an often-absent father, only to learn that he had terminal cancer.

Scarlett had always avoided having a boyfriend, believing it incompatible with her job. But then Thomas appeared, a former client who met her where she was. As Marco and Thomas proved that unconditional love existed and family can be chosen, Scarlett created a new life for herself.

As Scarlett fought for herself, her horses, and her newfound family, she discovered that sometimes, the best kind of fairytale was the one you never saw coming. Would Scarlett find the courage to claim the happily-ever-after she didn't know she wanted?

For fans of stories about resilience, unexpected love and the strength of chosen family.
