Operator 56? She was just the beginning. I wasn’t just surviving anymore – I was becoming someone I finally respected. In 1998, with a triple murder case behind her and bills stacking up, Lucia Domenica picked up the phone – literally – and began working nights on the sex lines deep in the heart of Sydney. What started as survival turned into something more: connection, power, even healing. Operator 56 is a wild, raw and darkly funny memoir, layered with serious undertones of chaos, trauma and survival. It peels back the curtain on brothels, phone sex, and the unsolved crimes Lucia was entangled in. Through lipstick-stained lies, strange men and real friendships, she held it together – for her daughters, and herself. It proves that life can be messier and stranger than any Hollywood script, and that strength is often found in the most unlikely places. In a world that tried to break her, she found a voice that couldn’t be silenced. This isn’t just a story. It’s a love letter to every woman who’s ever been underestimated. Operator 56 flips the bird to judgement – and will make you question everything you think you know about sex, love, work and life.
