Dancing for Your Life chronicles the true story of a beautiful,
young Filipina who, in order to help her family financially, leaves
her home in the quiet Philippines countryside to work as a dancer
in Hong Kong's red-light district of Wan Chai. This book will hold
special appeal for readers interested in gaining a
behind-the-scenes look at the workings of an Asian go-go bar and
will serve as a companion guide for individuals interested in
cultural studies, gender studies, or spirituality. It presents a
rare first-person account that is thought provoking and
controversial. Here is the untold story of faith, friendship, and
sacrifice, but also of triumph and forgiveness. Authors bios:

Paul Strahan is the author of several children's books including
The Farm Girl and the Butterflies (Bronze Medal Winner Moonbeam
Book Awards), The Woodcutter Prince, and The Never-Ending Bag of
Crisps, as well as the fiction novel Empty Playgrounds. After a
globe-trotting career as a corporate executive for giants such as
AIG, Philips, and Bank of America, Strahan now lives in Hong Kong
where he spends his time revitalizing a long-held passion for
creating works of fiction. An accomplished poet who describes
himself as a storyteller rather than a writer, he continues to draw
inspiration from everyday life, as well as from a wealth of
experience gained from working in technology and traveling the
world. Straightforward. Honest. Storytelling that works because it
bleeds truth on every page. Karl Taro Greenfeld, former Editor,
Time Asia magazine
