Produktbeschreibung

Operator 56? She was just the beginning. I wasn't just surviving anymore - I was becoming someone new. Someone I finally respected.

Testament to the formidable resilience of women and the power of female friendship, Operator 56 is a wild, unflinching ride. It proves that life can be messier and stranger than any Hollywood script - and strength can be found in the most unlikely places.

It was 1998. With a triple murder case behind her and driven by financial desperation, Lucia Domenica began working nights on the sex phone lines. She was determined to give her daughters a better life than she ever had. But what started as a way to survive soon became a lifeline - not only for the mysterious callers, but also for herself.

Operator 56 dives into the backrooms of sex lines and brothels - and the chilling homicides Lucia found herself entangled in. A raw, unapologetic memoir, it will hook you in with the secrets nobody talks about and hold you until the very last page with the courageous life of a woman on the other end of a phone line.

In a world that wanted to silence and sideline her, throwing situations at her that are truly unimaginable, Lucia held it all together with grit and tenacity. She fought to find, and accept, herself. She listened to her caller's stories; now it's time she told hers.

Operator 56 flips the bird to judgement and will make you question everything you think you know about sex, love, work and life.

Autorenporträt

Lucia Domenica was the only daughter in a volatile immigrant household on the fringes of Sydney, where Christmas gifts were few and being called 'the only kangaroo in the family' was as affectionate as it got. Engaged at 14 and married by 17, she learned early how to survive - sometimes by staying silent, other times by speaking up when it mattered most.One of her most cherished childhood gifts was a powder-blue Smith Corona typewriter. Battered but beautiful, it helped her journal her way through life's storms. Though she left school at 15, she never stopped learning, holding tight to the belief that knowledge - and a bit of courage - might one day lead to freedom.Over the years, Lucia lived through love, loss, multiple marriages and more name changes than she can count. She witnessed real tragedies, like the Granville train disaster, and found herself unintentionally caught up in murders and mysteries that spanned more than two decades.In 1998, she entered the sex industry - first on the phone lines, then in brothels - to support her family. As Operator 56, she didn't just survive - she found her voice. The work, once born from desperation, became a lifeline, connecting her to strangers, stories and a strength she never knew she had.Lucia is now an accomplished artist, an educator of children and a truth-teller by heart. Operator 56 is her debut memoir - and a fierce reminder that the truth, even the messy kind, is worth telling.
