![]() The real problem with Angel is that her dream is to save enough money to buy a small cottage and live on her own, away from men. Life there was better for Angel than it had been before, but even then, the madam was increasingly controlling, kept her money under lock and key, and kept a “bodyguard” to make sure none of the girls ran away.Īnd yet, throughout Rivers’ book, we’re to think of Angel as bitter and angry. Once there, she was abused on the street and lived in squalor until a madam picked her up, along with some other girls, and started a brothel. When Angel was sixteen she successfully ran away, and boarded a boat to California. After Angel grew a few years older, she was trafficked to a wealthy clientele, still owned by the same abuser. ![]() When Angel’s mother died when she was eight, a kindly drunk arranged what he thought was an adoption for her into a wealthy family, but was actually a life of child sex slavery of the worst, most abusive kind you can imagine. ![]() After that the man cast her mother aside, and they lived in a hovel by the docks where her mother found a way to sustain them by working as a prostitute. ![]() She had a troubled life before then, too-her mother was a married man’s mistress, with her own little cottage, until Angel was three.
