It's a journey through the streets of a red light district after dark complete with sex, drugs, criminals & violence. On these pages, you will find some funny stories, some real strange ones and some that are so tragic that they will break your heart but they deserve to be told. When it comes to those stories of sadness, it is my hope that when they are read, their names will be seen, not just as a roll call of those who suffered but as real people. Because of the life they led, a number of people mentioned in this book are now dead but their ghosts remain in the memories of people like me and now, I give them to you. From The Cradle To The Cross I was born to parents who seemed a little unsure if they wanted children. My mother was thirty nine when she became pregnant with her first and only child and many years later, in a moment of alcohol soaked honesty, my father confessed that my conception had not been part of their longer term plans. An accident I may have been but they welcomed me into their life and my early memories are fond ones.
