Synopsis

In her first memoir, Callgirl, Jeannette Angell led readers into the world of escort services, as she taught classes by day and worked as a call girl by night.Now she introduces readers to another part of that world as she recounts the life of a madam, Peach, who runs a successful mid-level escort service in Boston. Told from Peach's point of view, Madam looks at all different facets of this life— from the need to run an efficient business to how she explains her career choice to others. Raised in the South, Peach came to Boston for college, but found herself sidetracked early on, her talent for business vying with her aspirations to literature. Finding herself working as a receptionist in a suburban brothel, she soon realized that she could run a similar business much more effectively—and with more kindness. And for some years she does, living at night, going out to clubs and restaurants... until she discovers that she wants more from life. Now married and the mother of children, her daytime life seems at odds with the business that she runs—or does it? Here again is a way for readers to understand an invisible world and an invisible life, and to put faces on the faceless people of the night. Like Callgirl, Madam’s message is that they are not so different from the people who live next door to you. They may, in fact, even be your neighbors.
