NOW A MAJOR AWARD-WINNING SERIES STREAMING ON NETFLIX. STARRING RACHEL GRIFFITHS AND MARTIN HENDERSON.

When her husband left her with two kids to support, Antonia decided to start a new career as a pimp.

Upon discovering that sex work is decriminalised in New Zealand, Antonia Murphy decides to build her own business: an ethical escort agency. It seems like a good idea, but she isnโ€™t sure how itโ€™s done, so she connects with the online sex worker community.

These smart, sassy women teach her more than she could have dreamed of โ€“ the importance of pineapple juice, how to remove chilli oil from, ahem, sensitive places, and what โ€˜Greekโ€™ means (hint: there are no togas).

Clueless but hopeful, Antonia launches The Bach: a healthy, safe place where women can earn great money and provide compassionate, shame-free pleasure for clients. At least, thatโ€™s the idea ...

A poignant and darkly comedic memoir from a mother who opened an ethical escort agency in small town New Zealand โ€“ and dared to make a difference.
