“Gentlemen! Put your hands together and welcome Cassidy to the stage!”
It wasn't the life Marci Warhaft envisioned for herself. A good student who had been accepted into a prestigious theatre school, a doting mother with two young sons, and there she was taking it all off in front of paying customers to Bootylicious by Destiny's Child.
The Good Stripper is an eye-popping journey: Warhaft reveals the punishing circumstances and self-destructive behaviors that shaped her early adulthood, including a bank-robbing stepfather, the loss of her beloved brother, eating disorders, and sexual misadventures during a dysfunctional marriage.
She describes, in honest, raw, and intimate detail, her struggles to recognize what was happening to her, and her sometimes misguided fight to regain control of her destiny. Above all, it is the story of how one woman, after years of living a double life, packing school lunches by day and giving lap dances by night, finally became the inspirational leader she was always meant to be.

Critic reviews
"Wow! From the first line to the last, I was hooked. A mesmerizing, often shocking memoir for everyone out there who might be afraid to share their own struggles. A powerful and candid read!" (Rebecca Eckler, author of Knocked Up: Confessions of a Hip Mother-to-Be)
Marci captivates you from the beginning and keeps you hooked until the end of the book. She describes her early life, family dynamics, anxiety, eating disorders, time as an exotic dancer, marital 'sexcapades', and the challenges that came with it all. Marci's writing style is casual and approachable; She makes you feel you're having a conversation with your best friend or sister.
I was rooting for Marci all the way through The Good Stripper. Marci had so many challenges to overcome, but she managed to not only find herself and keep going but also to thrive and inspire others.
Inspirational!

In "The Good Stripper", Marci takes her decades of pain, trauma, and abuse - abuse from others, and from herself - and sets it out for us to see. Most importantly, she doesn't take the oh-so-common narrative path of "I did it, so what's your excuse" (which is a key point in the book), or continue down the path of abuse. Instead, the book is about learning to love herself, every single part of herself, and to recognize that the scars she bears can help her guide others.
I first read the Kindle version of this book, which was extremely moving. When I found out that Marci had done her own narration for the audiobook, I picked it up right away. Hearing her tell her story in her own voice brought it even more vividly to life.
This is NOT a comfortable book to listen to, but the level of vulnerability she shows makes it immensely powerful.
