Sarena Straus was a
prosecutor in the Office of the Bronx District Attorney's office, one of
approximately 400 Assistant District Attorneys working in the midst of an area
of America with the highest crime and poverty rates. This book is about her
experiences in combating crimes against women and children during a three-year
stint with the Domestic Violence and Sex Crimes Unit, mostly prosecuting sex
crimes against children. The literal and emotional battles, both won and lost,
eventually destroyed her.
Ms. Straus began with a burning desire to be part of the safety net, to prosecute criminals who terrorize the most defenseless among us. How and why she finally had to stop is the unusual psychological tale of this book. It is a true-crime memoir; an account and a tribute to the assistant district attorneys and their support staff, the physicians, social workers, crime victim advocates and cops who do what is truly God's work.

As a girl waits for the return of her disappeared father, the story of four migrant women unravels. In antebellum America: a daydreamer from the country gets an unexpected education on the Mississippi river; a storekeeper falls in love with a thief amid the chaos of Gold Rush San Francisco; a fugitive quadroon re-invents herself in a New York brothel; and a young bride is trapped on a Louisiana sugar plantation.
Though they do not know it, their lives are inextricably linked by the men they encounter. Peopled by whores, tricksters, gamblers, do-gooders, liars, and fools, and with allusions to the coded language of flowers, Whorticulture is about prostitution in its myriad forms. Contains a helpful discussion guide for book groups and a flower dictionary.
