Dommemoir: A Novel by The Lady Genevieve, et al., as told to I.G. Frederick (Fanny Press, Seattle, WA, ISBN:  978-1-60381-418-8)

I accept you as my property and in doing so make the commitment to protect, cherish, and love you… I solemnly promise to take responsibility for your physical and emotional well-being, to care for you, and to love you with all my heart (p 186).

Imagine devotion, commitment and servitude.  Utter surrender to being owned completely.  Visualize love that knows no boundaries but those that are proposed.   Existing as a slave to a divine worship and existence, knowing no greater degree of ecstasy than giving ecstasy.  Pleasure becoming pleasure only when decreed by the receiver in the moans, the praise, the pat on the head, the punishment, the eternal collar of gold, the piercing, and the brand of a lifetime from Her.  She who is the inspiration, the source, the reason… The Lady G and her Dommemoir.

Fairy tales dictate a prince for every princess to take her away into a happily ever after where she is the center of his universe.  When we awake from the fairytale, we are often left in bewilderment wondering where all the promises went.  So is the awakening of Genevieve after Her marriage ends.  In search of assistance for managing the basics in Her life, Genevieve turns to service as the solution.

As she begins to enlist help for keeping her house clean, Genevieve finds a growing joy in male servitude and allows herself to become the Lady G that she had always been but hadn’t allowed herself to discover.  “Up until then, I had lived a pretty vanilla life. I didn’t know I was a sadist. I hadn’t explored my dominant nature or discovered that I crave the worship of a male slave who truly believes I am his Supreme Goddess” (p 2).

Through well-written words that echo two souls, the Lady G and Her slave nicholas, readers are escorted through a journey that many fail to explore.  The core of what and who we are beyond desire, that truth of our existence and what makes us is revealed through the struggles, the trials, the losses and the triumphs recorded in this memoir.  Lady G and nicholas present readers with a search for purpose and reason, the meaning in one’s existence, the ache for satisfaction and a portrayal of the courage to embrace the relief for that ache, even if it’s an existence that must be protected from the vanilla world.

Ultimately, Dommemoir is an opportunity to do more than explore The Lifestyle.  Readers explore what it means to embrace life and boldly venture into a destiny of one’s own design, taste and meaning.  Often times, we find our answers in unexpected places, sometimes in more than one place.  And love in a variety of ways and hearts that leave us branded forever in memory.
