BREAKING NEWS: Opal's New Book STRIPPER: A Mother's Story
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A STRIPPER WHO FOUND HERSELF IN THE MOST UNCONVENTIONAL WAY
Lamar, Missouri - Have you ever wondered what goes through the mind of a stripper?
In the 1970's, the Burlesque industry was thriving. Nudity and pornography was a public and political outrage. And people across the country were flocking to burlesque theaters to see Melissa St. John: The Upside Down Girl, A.K.A. Wild Star. Little did they know she was a single Mother, alone, on the road, with her two children in boarding schools in separate states. Over a 6 year period while traveling on a burlesque circuit across the country, she was searching for a way to come face to face with her true spirit. Through writing her innermost thoughts on paper, she found herself in the most unconventional way.
THOUGHTS OF A STRIPPER: A MOTHER'S STORY, by Opal Dockery, is an inspirational, spiritual and autobiographical journal of a stripper's thoughts over a 6 year period in the 1970's. Her personal thoughts on single parenthood, spirituality, alternative lifestyle thinking, travel, the burlesque industry and family will inspire you, shock you and uplift you.
Asked about her book, Opal replied, "I was a stripper for approximately twenty-two years. This book contains a portion of intense thoughts I experienced during six years of this time, most of which I was on the road from 1971 to 1977. The source of my book is based on my feelings".
To promote the limited edition first printing of STRIPPER, Dixie Publishing is offering a huge discounted price to the public. Effective immediately, by purchasing the novel directly through the publisher, the buyers will receive the $39.00 novel for only $25.00 plus shipping and handling.
