Excellent story of survival!

This was a wonderful portrayal of one woman's experience and perspective as an entertainer at the Gold Club, and, as the subtitle indicates, it is also about Ms. Bush's life. There is nothing sleazy or ghetto about this book.Ms. Bush is an example of a survivor. She cleverly integrated chapter snapshots of her past as though reflecting, at times, on her hard upbringing or comparing how far she had come from her deprived past. It doesn't take a Ph.D to follow and appreciate the creative flair she incorporated. I certainly would not have been interested in this story had she depicted it frame-by-frame from infancy to adulthood. This is a well-written story (I think all of the negative comments are from those fellow dancers she mentioned who didn't like her).Ms. Bush doesn't claim to be perfect, in fact, in the end, she states that it is her hope that others can learn from her mistakes. I especially recommend this book for young women who may be tempted by notions of making fast money. Thanks for sharing your story, Ms. Bush. You've shown that one is never too old to learn from mistakes or develop a new chapter in life.

"Judge not, lest ye be judged" - (Sermon on the Mount)

Jacklyn Bush is not only a DIVA, she is a survivor, and to me, Gold Club is about survival. Although she suffered abuse and neglect, and witnessed more sordid events in her childhood than most people see or hear about in a lifetime, the path she followed was not one of her choosing. She was destined to follow it. In spite of all her trials and tribulations, Jacklyn Bush has emerged a winner with the capacity to forgive. This is an inside look at the players and the trial that only someone who was there would know about, but being an entertainer at the Gold Club was just a small part of her life. Before you jump to conclusions from the publicity surrounding this woman, I recommend that you read Gold Club. Her life should not be summed up as being an entertainer. Jacklyn Bush is truly a survivor.
