From Dyan to Trouble
by Shirley A. Caruth
From Dyan to Trouble
by Shirley A. Caruth
About this title: Trouble's an exceptionally beautiful black,
goddess-like woman with a flawless body and a great brain. Trouble was
born with the mind of a genius and a heart of gold. As a young girl,
she lacked love and true understanding from her family and peers.
She got only abuse -- mental and physical. She ran away from being
abused in search of a true outlet for her life and love. Trouble,
at the tender age of 15, became a prostitute walking the streets.
As the years passed she became a gorgeous, tantalizing black prostitute,
envied by her new peers on the strip. Men groveled at her feet then paid
her for their sexual pleasures. Trouble was truly the queen of the night.
In life, we all prostitute ourselves in one way or another. We are all selling
something. If it's not sex, it's ourselves to something or some cause.
If we're not selling ourselves, it's our opinions, our ideas, or our products.
It may be just a plain ol' line of bullshit we're selling.
