The Trauma Cleaner: One Woman's Extraordinary Life in Death, Decay & Disaster by Sarah Krasnostein

3.5
Misleading title. About the trauma and life story of the cleaner, covering abuse through her childhood, traumatic expericnes including rape and working as a sex worker, journey through sex change and challenges of being transgender. Almost zero about the actual Cleaning or stories of those she cleans for. Came looking for interesting trauma cleaning stories, got non of it. Decent book and a heart wrenching and interesting biography. But book is not as advertised
