Scars and Stilettos: The Transformation of an Exotic Dancer by Harmony Dust is a stark, honest, and hopeful story of how God found Harmony in a dark, noisy place and led her out.
Fear of being abandoned keeps nineteen-year-old Harmony Dust trapped in an abusive and cruel relationship. She thinks she has hit bottom - she is tens of thousands of dollars in debt, struggling to get by, and so controlled by her boyfriend that she doesn't protest when he begins openly sleeping around. Things can't get worse . . . until someone tells her how much money she can make as an exotic dancer. For the next three years, Harmony lives a double life as Monique, a dancer in a fully-nude strip club.
"Harmony wrote her story so that you and your friends may get help out of whatever dark tunnel you find yourself in. . . . once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down and you will want to get a copy for every person you know." -Holly Wagner, from the preface
She has since married, completed an MA in social welfare, and Harmony Dust is founder of Treasures, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles that reaches out to women in the sex industry to show them they are loved, valued, and purposed.

My Opinion
This book showed me a prime example of how God works in mysterious ways - and ways that we don't always understand! Those are only a few of the lessons that can be learned from Scars and Stilettos! Harmony may have had to suffer a lot in the early years of her life, but God always had a plan for her - even when she did not know it! Her book was inspiring and it captivated me! I did not want to put it down and I am definitely going to pass on this book/recommend this book to others who need inspiration in their life and/or need a reminder that God promises to never give us more than we can handle in our lives and that he is always watching over us and has a very special plan for our lives!
I definitely recommend this book for all adults! It is inspiring and real and will remind you of many of God's promises to all of us - especially in times of trial!
