Rebecca is a burlesque performer — sharp, self-possessed, and in control of the room. Until the night she isn’t.
Kidnapped into a human trafficking ring, Rebecca discovers that her captors don’t rely on chains or locked doors. Their weapon is psychological: gaslighting, isolation, the slow and systematic erosion of identity. To survive, she must become someone she no longer
recognizes — someone capable of things she once thought unimaginable.
Praise God for Pasties is a debut psychological thriller that dismantles Hollywood myths about trafficking and replaces them with something far more unsettling: the truth about how manipulation works from the inside. It is a novel about survival, complicity, and the terrifying question of what remains of a person once the performance becomes real.
