Synopsis

Raised by a single, alcoholic mother, Kjersti desperately seeks love and belonging in all the wrong places—whether she’s dancing onstage at the strip club, hiding in a series of broken relationships, or binging on drugs and alcohol. When she hits rock bottom, she finally finds acceptance and restoration in her higher power. In this authentic and raw memoir, Kjersti clears away a spot in the steamy window of a strip club dressing room, allowing you to peer inside the complicated world of the sex industry. You’ll experience the struggle of addiction, the vulnerability of sobriety, and the miracle of healing though friendship and prayer. If you’ve ever felt lonely, without purpose, or like you just don’t fit in, My Flawless One will give you hope. You’ll fall in and out of love with Kjersti and fear and cheer for her. Kjersti’s journey is our journey from rejection into a loving embrace. Praise for My Flawless One “Have you ever found yourself saying, ‘Those kind of people never change’? Kjersti Bohrer takes us on a journey into her world in a tragically beautiful and painfully real way. A deep dive into her life of commercial sexual exploitation, bad relationships, and one of the most beautiful stories of transformation, strength and perseverance that I’ve ever read.” —Chris Baker, INK 180 Ministry “Kjersti's memoir shows the reality of sex work, addiction, and the supernatural power of God. She gives an authentic voice to survivors and exposes our truth—a truth that's remained silent and labeled for too long.” —Anny Donewald, Sex Trafficked Survivor & Former Sex Worker, Founder of Eve's Angels and The ARMED Campaign Author, Dancing For the Devil “Thank God, My Flawless One isn’t your “typical” Christian book. If you're offended easily, this may not be the book for you. Bohrer offers the reader every honest, rotten, dark, beautiful, transformative, and even amusing detail about her life as a stripper. No inhibitions or plastic paragraphs. No pussyfooting around. Her environment before God prepares her for what’s coming next. When Bohrer walks back into the strip clubs in Minneapolis, she becomes the warrior God intended her to be. She becomes my hero!” —Kim Sister Robinson, Blogger My Inner Chick
