The Art of Whore is an unflinching journey through sex, money, desire, survival, and the economies we rarely admit govern human relationships. Moving between the intimate and the cultural, the sacred and the profane, it examines the oldest transaction in the world without reducing it to exploitation or empowerment.

Girl, Go Home is a memoir about leaving, belonging, and the complicated question of where home actually is. Moving through Hawaiʻi, the American West, foreign countries, love affairs, loss, survival, and reinvention, Mahina traces a life lived largely outside the lines—and the places, people, and versions of herself she encountered along the way. Part travelogue, part confession, and part reckoning, Girl, Go Home asks what happens when a woman spends her life running toward freedom, only to discover that home may not be a place at all.
