From Mistress to Minister

"He bought me beautiful things. He took me to exciting new places. He bit me all over..." This is the true story of Nel Endaluz Prentiss, a shy, sheltered 16 year old girl from the Philippines who was plucked from the schoolyard by the married scion of a powerful family to be his mistress. Hers is a story of love, sexual obsession, cruelty, and fear. It is also a story of bravery and Nel's determination to save herself and her illegitimate daughter from the power and madness of the Rose family. Against all odds, she flees to America in search of safety and a new life for her and her child. It is by turns harrowing, amazing, and inspiring.
