Raised in a conservative Christian home in the East Coast of Canada, Mag is urged to preserve her purity at all costs. Desperate to secure her place in heaven, she rejects the hyper-sexual youth culture of her small town—until she falls for a magnetic, sophisticated girl while attending a program designed to usher young people into Evangelical Missionary work. Spiraling into shame and regret, Mag breaks away from the Church and launches herself into the world of sex for hire, attempting to shed her repressive past and become an anti-virgin—the antithesis of who she was raised to be.

"I've been waiting years for a novel like this! A funny, moving, superbly written coming-of-hooker-age story that holds nothing back. Mag is one of the best protagonists you'll never forget, and this book is filled with angels." - Casey Plett, author of A Dream of a Woman and Little Fish
"Over the past decade, sex worker-authored memoir has gotten a stiletto-heeled foot in the door of literary nonfiction.Portrayals of sex workers in fiction, however, remain caught somewhere in between X-rated versions of the manic pixie dream girl and convenient victim tropes. Angel B.H.'s All Hookers Go To Heaven transcends these tropes through her nimble and refreshing storytelling. Mag's story is as harrowing as it is true-to-life. And she's as multidimensional as every sex worker character should rightfully be." - Amber Dawn, author of Sodom Road Exit and Sub Rosa
