Greener is a memoir written by a small town girl who ventured to Japan to dance to pay off her bills. After arriving solo in Japan she soon finds out things are not what she had pictured after being the only American dancing in the club. She later finds out she not only has to dodge immigration, but the Japanese mob has their own special plans for her.
After escaping from being human trafficked by the Nigerians who run the club, Jenna lands her heels in Las Vegas to meet up with Alyssa her roommate for a month of adventure, tears, and laughter. The girls find themselves in the most random situations. From accidentally taking in a homeless man who crashes with them for five days, to living in the budget suites, every day in Vegas is another adventure and lesson learned.
While this book has the back story of an entertainer’s life in the industry, it’s meaning lies deeper than the club, money, or material aspects of dancing. It’s about the struggle for survival, and the sacrifices one takes to achieve their dreams. It’s about finding yourself, understanding the priceless value of a life long friendship, and learning to be happy with what’s on your plate. It’s about realizing money doesn’t guarantee happiness and the grass is not always greener outside your own yard.
