Description
High-fashion model Cheryl Diamond recounts the challenges and achievements of her career in the cutthroat fashion industry in this gripping memoir. Every year, hundreds of the most beautiful people in the world come to New York to become models. At age fourteen, Cheryl Diamond was one of them. Living on her own in a run-down apartment, Cheryl spent her days on go-sees, runways, and shoots--surviving hand-to-mouth while taking in everything she could about the tough and sleazy modeling industry. She watched other girls make mistakes and swore she wouldn't be a victim...until a career-altering event changed her life and nearly ruined her shot at her dream. This is the riveting, true account of Cheryl's triumphant rise, disastrous fall, and phoenix-like comeback in one of the hottest and most demanding industries in the world.
