Jesus Saves Lexi:
If He Can Save Me, He Can Save You!
by Wilhelmina M. Leonard

FORMER STRIPPER CHRONICLES DRUGS, SEX, VIOLENCE, CORRUPTION & REDEMPTION IN EXPLOSIVE NEW TELL-ALL

            We’ve all heard the statistics: female sex industry workers are anywhere between 66-90% more likely than the average woman to have been abused as children, to experience verbal and physical assault in the workplace, and to have substance abuse issues.
            But how much – or little – do we actually know of the women for whom these facts aren’t just statistics, but the underpinnings of their lives?
            Jesus Saves Lexi: If He Can Save Me, He Can Save You!, the explosive new memoir from the self-proclaimed “former second highest paid stripper in Michigan,” pulls back the velvet curtain on the underbelly of the exotic dancing world to reveal the disturbing truths that lie within it.
Detailing the racial discrimination, dysfunctional and violent family dynamic and sexual abuse that she experienced, Wilhelmina M. Leonard divulges with heartbreaking candor how, as a minor, she became ‘Sexi Lexi’ and entered what she refers to as the “evil world of exotic dancing.”
            With no holds barred, Jesus Saves Lexi sees Leonard bringing to light the very darkest moments of her past, including an account of how, as a sixteen year old, she was sexually compromised by a famous NFL player.
            “I have been to hell and back again,” states Leonard of her memoir. “The eternal love of God and Jesus forced me to write this book. I want to help others, and to help, people must first know the truth.”
An eye-opening, controversial and life changing read, Jesus Saves Lexi explores:
·         The impact of poverty and physical, sexual and emotional abuse
·         The ugly world of exotic dancing: drugs, violence, immortality, racism
·         Renouncing wealth, travel and materialism for devotion to Jesus Christ
·         Institutionalized corruption: what the police and government officials don’t want you to know about the murder and subsequent cover-up of the death of Tamara Greene
