The memoir

She thought she was hiding a secret. Then the secret started following her.

Before she was a writer and comedian, Jerene Dildine was a Spanish teacher who stepped into sex work—and straight into a story she never expected to survive, much less tell. When a client became a stalker, private choices collided with public shame, institutional indifference, and a courtroom. Jerene fought back. A jury heard her. She won. She Comes On Top is a darkly funny memoir about desire, fear, reinvention, and the unruly act of believing yourself.

A woman can be terrified and still be the bravest person in the room.
