Produktbeschreibung
Jade's Broken Bridge, by Michele Lee Sefton, is a raw and poignant story of survival, self-destruction, and hope. The narrative follows Jade, a young woman navigating a tumultuous life shaped by family fractures, addiction, and the pursuit of financial stability in the shadows of the adult entertainment industry. The story unfolds as she reflects on her past, particularly her experiences as an Arizona native, working as a topless dancer in Fairbanks, Alaska, and Phoenix, and the personal struggles that led her there. Jade's journey is a deeply introspective exploration of self-worth, desperation, and the relentless search for escape-whether through drugs, shallow relationships, or a false sense of empowerment gained in topless bars. Inspired by true events, the book delves into Jade's complex family dynamics, particularly the impact of her parents' divorce, and the financial hardships that drove her to make life-altering choices. Through vivid and unfiltered prose set in the late 1980s, Sefton paints a picture of a woman torn between who she was meant to be and who she has become. As she battles addiction and shame, Jade ultimately confronts the truth about her past and her desire to reclaim her life. In her debut novel, Sefton offers a sobering account of self-destructive life choices and the painful consequences that follow. The story does not romanticize the struggles of survival but instead offers an honest portrayal of resilience and the possibility of change.
