Growing up, Charlayne Grenci learned to live with rejection, fear, and strict protocol. She flirted with erotica, disaster, and lived a life of rebellion and risky behavior. She worked in grey areas of the law, and consequently lost her freedom for challenging the system. In spite of her plight for 'freedom of expression', her inner power to survive and persevere gave her the imitable strength and to strive in a quest for knowledge, fame, and fortune. From a privileged, tormented childhood, coping with the temptations of adolescence, Charlayne descended into an adulthood of bizarre, sexual encounters, taboo subcultures, and decades of failed relationships. Charlayne has been frequently misunderstood by the majority, including friends, family, and occasionally by herself. Mistress Carla walked on the wild side of exploration into the dark side of human sexual behavior at her 1980's torture dungeon in Pompano Beach , Florida . Hundreds of anxious thrill-seekers living in the United States and internationally, traveled to submit and worship America 's Queen Of Domination. The famous dominatrix's clandestine business came to a shocking halt by a scandalous police raid, a witch-hunt, corrupt legal battle, and a three-ring circus trial, one of the most high-profiled, sensationalized criminal court cases in Florida 's history! Mistress Carla endured five devastating years of judicial domination, followed by a maximum jail sentence and a felony conviction as "the notorious dominatrix"!

Terri-Jean Bedford is one of Canada's most notorious citizens-but few know her under that name. As Madame deSade, however, she was Canada's most famous dominatrix, a well-known public figure. These are her long-awaited memoirs. Terri-Jean was born into abject poverty and put into a foster home at age six, where she suffered abuse. She was later moved into facilities for children and lived there until she was sixteen, when she left to make it on her own. She survived by working numerous unskilled jobs, until she entered the world of prostitution. Her talents and interests helped her move into the elite world of the professional dominatrix, and her life would never be the same. Located just outside of Toronto, her elaborate Bondage Bungalow became the target of a spectacular raid. Six highly publicized years of trials and appeals later, she was convicted under bawdy-house laws and paid a small fine. In 1999, she opened a similar facility in downtown Toronto, one that closed without police interference in 2002. She remains a vocal advocate for civil rights and the disenfranchised. She has been a plaintiff in a major constitutional challenge, and, as a result, Canada's prostitution laws were struck down in 2010. Because of Terri-Jean's failing health, Madame deSade hung up her whips and is now happily retired. Today, Terri-Jean leads a quieter life, enjoying the company of her daughter and grandson. Hers is a story of survival, trial, and triumph.
