Kings Cross is Sydney's - and Australia's - most notorious suburb. Crime and violence, drugs and prostitution, gangsters and illegal gambling, tough street kids and homeless men and women: to outsiders, these are the familiar images of the Cross. But is this reality? People of the Cross looks behind the stereotypes and into the lives of some of the people that make up this extraordinary community. Twenty storytellers talk about their lives and explain what different paths brought them to the Cross and why they stay. They include a tattooist, a nightclub owner, a community worker, a stripper, a police officer, a brothel owner, a doctor, a Les Girls diva, a nun, an SP bookie and many more. A fascinating portrait of complex lives and social issues and the unique points of view together with their many different cultural, socio-economic and moral perspectives provide a vivid picture of the controversial community which makes up Kings Cross. Informative, entertaining and moving, this book creates a new understanding of the Cross and the issues which face our society as a whole. Illustrated with black and white photograhps.
