ELIZABETH HENDRICK’s debut, EXODAI, is more than a memoir; it’s a visceral journey into the heart of self-acceptance, set against the electrifying and secretive backdrop of Tokyo’s BDSM underground. This provocative work details her transformative relationship with a Japanese dominatrix, a crucible that forged her ultimate embrace of her identity as a lesbian woman. EXODAI is a universal story for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, offering a raw and redemptive blueprint for overcoming shame and discovering self-love.
Hendrick’s own life reads like a compelling prelude to this work. A Durham mathematics graduate and former London financier, she abandoned corporate security for the volatile world of start-ups. It was there she began chronicling her experiences, a habit that continued through a reality TV stint and her remarkable life across global capitals like Paris, Tokyo, and Dubai. In 2016, she retired from business to write full-time, honing a distinctive voice drawn from a life of extraordinary contrasts.
Now based in Tokyo, Hendrick has crafted a work that is both a deeply personal confession and a forbidden glimpse into a hidden world. EXODAI promises to resonate powerfully with LGBTQ+ audiences and beyond, positioning Hendrick as a fearless new voice advocating for sexual self-awareness and the radical power of acceptance.
