THE TRAUMA CLEANER: Sarah Krasnostein

THE TRAUMA CLEANER

by Sarah Krasnostein

Sandra, an immaculately groomed middle-aged woman, is a trauma cleaner. Her story will shock you, move you and ultimately inspire you. While watching her sensitively and expertly deal with crime scenes, hoarders, and the decomposing houses of overdose victims, the author gets to know Sandra and her many previous lives as a father, drag queen, transgendered sex worker, wife and business woman.
This is a book about trauma, damage that lies just beneath the surface, and it may surprise you to learn where it hides. Most of these scenes take place behind the shiny veneer of the streets in suburban Melbourne. A truly compelling read!
