Brandi Glanville opens her life completely in this raw memoir. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member reveals how her eight year marriage collapsed when her husband left her and their two sons for country singer LeAnn Rimes. She traces her path from a tough Sacramento neighborhood to international modeling success, working Paris Fashion Weeks and flying on private jets. The modeling world swept her into Hollywood's elite social circles where she became the ideal trophy wife until everything fell apart. Glanville discusses her DUI arrest, plastic surgery procedures, casual hookups, and her unfiltered approach to reality television. She explains how she refuses to play the victim or change her sarcastic personality for anyone. The book covers her co-parenting struggles, her conflicts with other housewives, and her decision to embrace single motherhood on her own terms. Glanville writes with the same blunt honesty that made her a fan favorite, holding nothing back about the messy realities of divorce, dating, and raising children in the public eye.
