{"product_id":"9781760688608-misfit-the-unravelling-of-samantha-x","title":"Misfit: The unravelling of Samantha X","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmanda Goff was a successful journalist in London and Sydney before ditching her nine-to-five job at the age of 38 to become Samantha X, Australia's most famous escort. A bipolar diagnosis changed everything: she retired from sex work, walked away from Samantha X, and went in search of Amanda. Misfit  is her third memoir - but the first written as 'herself'. Raw, honest, provocative, wise and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is an unflinching record of her journey along the bumpy path to healing and self-acceptance. Beyond confronting her bipolar disorder and addiction issues, Amanda must also contend with prejudice and judgement, lingering trauma from her earlier life, and her own crushing self-doubt. As she struggles with the realities of so-called normality, the persistent voice of Samantha X is there to remind her of a former life that offered power, money, fame - and protection from the challenges that Amanda has courageously chosen to tackle head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48498631966939,"sku":"9781760688608","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1a0234c1-db46-4f31-8cf7-0654fc090804.jpg?v=1774089417","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781760688608-misfit-the-unravelling-of-samantha-x","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
