Madam on the Menu

Madam on the Menu is an unflinching, behind-the-scenes account of life within Dennis Hof's notorious brothel empire—a story of love, betrayal, resilience, and the human desire for connection in one of the most unconventional industries in America. Told through the eyes of Sonja, a woman deeply embedded in Hof’s world, the book explores why men turn to brothels, why women embrace prostitution, and how both sexes navigate the often-murky waters of intimacy, identity, and survival. Dennis Hof remains a pivotal figure in the history of professional sex work in America, and his influence continues to resonate even after his death. Sonja’s firsthand perspective offers readers a rare glimpse into this complex world, shedding light on the humanity, humor, and heartbreak that exists behind the neon lights.
