Pan American Bank Los Angeles

In this autobiographical account of her time as a call girl, Jeannette Angell, known as Tia by night, details her decisions and experiences in the sex industry. An Ivy-League graduate with a doctorate, Angell believed she was on the fast track to tenure at a major university.

Becoming a College Lecturer

Her plan didn't quite pan out, however, and Angell finds herself lecturing at a small college where she doesn't bring in enough money to support herself. And to add to her debt, Angell's "rat bastard" boyfriend dumped her and moved to California – cleaning out her bank account on his way.

Becoming a Call Girl

So Angell begins to look for work and finds herself on the phone with a madam, known simply as Peach. By the time she's gotten off the phone, Peach has lined Angell up with a client for that night, and before she knows it, Angell's three-year career as a call girl has taken off.
