Synopsis
This is the autobiography of Jessi Winchester, who made worldwide headlines in the mid-1990s as a legal prostitute who competed in the Mrs. Nevada beauty pageant and later ran for Congress and Nevada lieutenant governor. The book brings the real world of legal bordello prostitution in Nevada to light and contains firsthand accounts of corruption and political dirty tricks in Nevada among both major parties. Now retired from the bordellos, Winchester is a Nevada-based businesswoman and activist.
Booknews
A former Mustang Ranch prostitute and activist for prostitutes' rights offers a cliche-riddled account of her life from a childhood spent soaking up family values on the ranch to her years working at the Mustang Ranch bordello. She details her 1996 campaign for Congress and 1998 campaign for lieutenant governor, with many anecdotes illustrating her belief in patriotism, freedom, individual rights, and other all-American values.
