BEN HAMM
About this episode

At first, Jules found working in the world’s oldest profession quite glamorous.  She learned the ropes from an unlikely mentor and felt like she had the world at her feet. But life’s harsh realities would catch up with her, leading to a dark chapter that would prove nearly insurmountable.  Part 1 of a 2 part secret.
