Sherry Huang asked Julie Berry:

Was prostitution common in this time? Because it came up a lot. Also, what happened to Plazi? Or is that up for interpretation?

Julie Berry Prostitution was common. It was almost the only option available to girls who didn't have families to support them, and and high mortality rates left many young people without guardians. Perhaps some found shelter in religious orders, but usually it took a great deal of money to secure a place in a convent. Tragically, in so many parts of the world today, poverty still drives young people into prostitution by hundreds of thousands.

With all of these non-English words (e.g. proper nouns) in "The Passion of Dolssa", wouldn't that be helpful to the many readers who don't have the audio version if you had arranged "a reference list of pronunciation" that would include phonetics and playable sound files?
