'This is the story of how God's Callgirl evolved into God's Woman.
'After the international publication of her sensational memoir, former nun-turned-prostitute Carla van Raay settled back to a quiet life as a housekeeper. Celibate for twelve years, she was unprepared for the reappearance of a past love. Aaron had been nineteen when they met; Carla was thirty-four, married, with a baby, a dark past, and some serious growing up to do...
'Desire: Awakening God's Woman is a frank exploration of this sexual, emotional and spiritual connection. Told with the unswerving honesty that made Carla's first book, God's Callgirl, a bestseller, it charts the ecstasy, the agony, and the price of passion.' (Publisher's blurb)

As a child, Carla van Raay experienced a trauma that changed her forever. Burdened by the weight of this terrible secret, all she wanted to do was survive. Life as a nun promised refuge from the outside world. Carla hoped to find love and understanding within the convent walls. Instead she became enmeshed in a complex system of regulations that drove her to the brink of madness. Finally released from her vows, she escaped back into the 'real' world. A hasty marriage and separation left Carla with a daughter to support. With few professional skills to rely on from her years as a nun, she turned to another age-old profession - prostitution. She worked as an escort to learn the ropes, then struck out on her own, setting up a massage service. God's callgirl was born. When eventually the seamier side of the business began to assert itself, Carla embarked on a journey to uncover the dark secret of her past. (Source: Trove)
