In chatty, colloquial style, Penthouse columnist and 1970s cult heroine Hollander (The Happy Hooker) details the non-hooker events of her life. The memoir begins and ends with the death of her mother, Germaine, and focuses on her relationship with her parents. The only child of a volatile and sensual couple (her father, Mick De Vries, was a Jewish-Dutch-Indonesian physician and Germaine was a German-French model 15 years younger), Hollander was infatuated with her father and jealous of her mother, yet loved both passionately. This family triangle defined Hollander's life, as did the harrowing experience of being interred by the Japanese in Indonesia during WWII, where all three of them were tortured and nearly killed.
Hollander details a series of romances, including current lovers Romke (a man 25 years her junior) and Dia (a woman 15 years her junior). The most explicit memories, however, involve wishing to be mistaken for her father's lover, baths with Daddy and a spanking scene with her father to which she attributes her first orgasm. There is no exploration of why she became both prostitute and madam, exactly how she made her considerable fortune or whether she missed the Happy Hooker days after the success of her bestseller and her deportation from the U.S. and Canada.
