The Making of a Madam, a memoir by Patsyann Maloney & Wayne Holmes

We often wonder how lives go “off the tracks.” We see the pictures of hardened criminals, yet can glimpse in their faces the child they once were. Join us for this very personal and powerful journey as we explore the recently published memoir of Patsyann Maloney. Patsyann and writer Wayne Holmes will both personally recount her journey from a young child who struggled with early sexual molestation, poverty, an abusive father, and an absent mother. Those experiences shaped her future and helped explain the poor decisions and ill-conceived relationships that culminated in prostitution and life as a madam. Despite all the evil forces that worked against Patsyann she triumphed. Her story gives hope to the most desolate and destitute.
