This powerful collection of short stories gives readers an intimate glimpse inside the massage room. Hunter holds nothing back while taking readers on an emotional rollercoaster that is humorous, thought-provoking, poignant, and keeps you wanting to turn the page. She sheds light on an occurrence of wrongful termination, dangerous encounters and her truth of being a black massage therapist in a predominantly white industry.
Let me start off by saying that I am a massage therapist, and have been for almost 20 years. The stories and situations described in this book are unique to Kamillya Hunter, but every one of them resonated with me. The touching, annoying, outrageous, and spiritual connections she makes, due to the very nature of the work, will be eye-opening to many people, especially those not directly involved in the business--it's what makes this profession both a challenge and a joy.
My one complaint: the book was not long enough, and left me wanting more! If you don't have enough stories, Kamillya, let's go have coffee sometime. ☕
