About the Book:

Raised in a conservative Christian home in the East Coast of Canada, Mag is urged to preserve her purity at all costs. Desperate to secure her place in heaven, she rejects the hyper-sexual youth culture of her small town—until she falls for a magnetic, sophisticated girl while attending a program designed to usher young people into Evangelical Missionary work. Spiraling into shame and regret, Mag breaks away from the Church and launches herself into the world of sex for hire, attempting to shed her repressive past and become an anti-virgin—the antithesis of who she was raised to be.

“An electrifying debut novel, as thoughtful as it is harrowing. […] All Hookers Go to Heaven is a distinctly innovative addition to the canon of sex-work fiction and represents a breadth of experiences and personalities. The narrative treats them with unrelenting tenderness and fascinating development. Each character is painstakingly crafted in a way that sex workers in fiction rarely seem to be. Written in meditative and candid prose, All Hookers Go to Heaven is a gutsy, erotic, and staunchly anticapitalist novel.”—Shelf Awareness

“An impressively sharp, beautifully written first novel—it would be an impressively sharp and beautifully written second, third, or fourth novel too for the record—but the fact that Angel B.H. can come right out the gate with such a defined and clean authorial voice is a feat worth noting. Her work has insight and stories to offer both seasoned sex workers and those who have never stepped foot in a Pleaser alike.”—Noelle Perdue, Xtra Magazine

“A very needed entry into the world of literature, where sex work is respected as a job, and the people who do it are portrayed in all the dizzying complexities that other groups are allowed… There is a lot of joy in this novel.”—Alison Manley, The Miramichi Review

“I’ve been waiting years for a novel like this! A funny, moving, superbly written coming-of-hooker-age story that holds nothing back. Mag is one of the best protagonists you’ll never forget, and this book is filled with angels.”—Casey Plett, author of A Dream of a Woman
