Book description
In Hooked, reformed addict Clare Gee draws on her own
experiences of cocaine addiction, alcoholism and prostitution in
telling the sensational story of a woman living on the edge.
Emotionally scarred by having never known her mother, Katie escapes
to London and immerses herself in a seedy world of drugs, drink and
sex, chasing happiness in the pubs and clubs, and snorting cocaine in
private members' bars with her rich punters.
Finding herself in a cycle of prostitution and unable to break free,
she turns to drug smuggling and becomes embroiled in a bigamous
marriage in an attempt to secure some emotional stability. From this
dark emotional pit, Katie starts her painful journey back to
'wellness' and attempts to rid herself of her addictions for good.
Hooked is a graphic tale of how life as a prostitute really
is and what can happen when we search for happiness outside of
ourselves. It is a poignant reminder that things can always get
better, as long as we remember that when it's time to leave the party,
it's time.
Clare Gee was born in Africa in 1977 and was sent to live in North
Yorkshire with her English father when she was five. Aged 16, she moved
to London, where she descended into a life of drink, drugs and
prostitution. After a period of rehabilitation in 2003, she rebuilt her
life in London.
