- My Madam name was Georgia or Queenbam.

I had a lot of women that worked for me

in different areas of the town

and I had a very large home,had a Hummer in the drive,

two other vehicles andalways had a lot of money.

It was a very big business.

- [Narrator] It's not hard toimagine how a small town girl

like Pamela Hillmanwould land in the world

of prostitution and drugs.

Her biological dad wasan abusive alcoholic.

Her mom was a free-spirited Playboy bunny

but it was what happened when she was five

that started Pamela onher destructive path.

She had found a stray puppyin her backyard she wanted

to rescue.

- So I tie him up to thefence and my dad comes

to the door and he says,"What are you doing?"

And I said, "Please, please,can I have the puppy?"

And he said, "Come upstairswith me and you can have it."

- [Narrator] Then he molested her.

- Something happened that day.

It planted the seed thatI could get what I want

by going upstairs.

- [Narrator] Pamela told her mother

who kicked her father outbut the molestation continued

as two other family memberspicked up where he left off.

Just nine years old, shestarted smoking marijuana

she found lying around the house.

- When I discovered pot, Ijust went somewhere else.

I was, I felt free from beingtrapped in that bedroom.

- [Narrator] Throughouther teens, Pamela turned

to harder drugs andeventually cocaine to escape

but it was sex that wouldgive her a temporary fix

for her need to be loved.

By her twenties, shehad married three times

and it turned to prostitution.

Her clients and the menin her life confirmed

what she already believed.

- I was a whore. I was a slut.

I was never gonna amount to anything.

I was... just I was shameful.

That was all that I knew, was filth.

- [Narrator] But there was another voice

from her childhood fighting to get through

that told her a different story.

It came from a friend of her grandmother's

- He says this one here special.

She's gonna do greatthings for God one day.

I continually heard it throughout my life

of destructive behaviors.

- [Narrator] Those wordswould one day help save

Pamela's life.

She was 26 and with theneedle in hand ready to inject

a lethal overdose ofcocaine into her veins.

- And I had said a prayer before I did it.

God, if you're real, help me, rescue me.

I need you.

I heard that voice again,you don't belong here.

You're gonna do greatthings for God and I heard

my grandmother's voice.

I heard so many of herprayers in that moment.

- [Narrator] She abandonedthe suicide got into rehab

and for two years went to church

and made a decision to follow Christ.

She also refrained from drugs and sex

but just one moment ofweakness took her back

to a life and hurt shethought she had left behind.

- And once I slept with a man,it triggered something in me.

I would relapse because I couldn't deal

with that shame and guilt again.

I was unworthy to be in Hispresence, to be a child of God.

- [Narrator] That would sendPamela into a 25 year slide

that led to drugs, prostitutionand numerous stents in jail.

Living just outside of Atlanta,

she also became a verysuccessful drug dealer and Madam

and in her mind, it was justified.

that was the big money.

I felt I was reallydoing these girls a favor

and pulling them out of these pimps

for little of nothing dollars

and getting thousands of dollarsfrom these big businessmen

- [Narrator] Still sheknew there was a better way

but the trap she had fallen into,

wasn't about to let her go.

- I didn't want to be doing this.

I didn't want to be selling my soul

to the devil, but I didn'tknow how to get out.

- [Narrator] Then in 2010,Pamela was busted for possession

and sentenced to five years in prison.

The first thing she requested was a Bible.

In her cell she rededicatedher life to Christ.

She says over time,God removed her desires

to indulge in the vices of her past.

- I had to repent of all the prostitution,

all the Madam, causingsomebody else to sin.

The using this body,

putting these drugs in.

He filled me, filled me withHis power, with His essence

with His love, the liquid love,

I can't describe it any other way.

God became the father Iwas looking for all along

and there's no man that can feel the void

that Father God can fill.

- [Narrator] Pamela alsoforgave her abusers.

- And I released Him to Him andHe not only healed my heart,

but He healed the hearts of those,

the offenders that I was praying for

and brought them to Christ.
