The Naked Truth: The Fall and Rise of Dona Speir

Más información sobre el libro

Dona Speir tells her story, from high school gymnast and track star to model, Playboy centerfold, B-movie icon, rape survivor, recovering addict, and recovery counselor and mentor. There was the rarified world of international modeling and global jet-setting, being photographed by the world-famous Arny Freytag for a Playboy centerfold and starring in seven Andy Sidaris action adventure films. But there was also abuse by predatory and powerful men including Bill Cosby and struggles with drugs and alcohol. And then there was her journey toward recovery and helping others. This study of Dona's survival is a provocative, powerful blueprint of how to do more than just survive -- to recover and thrive. Dona is 32 years sober and CEO of Recovery Coaching Experts. She has mentored hundreds of women with substance abuse and behavioral issues and she has founded women's recovery homes. Her book can help others learn how to identify the traits of sexual predators and protect yourself and your children, even from those who use charm and persuasion. Dona's experiences can help women understand and survive the social, physical and emotional aspects of substance abuse and lead a peaceful, complete, whole and safe family life. It's a cautionary tale to be sure, but it's also a triumphant one, an uplifting, exciting story of perseverance with an unforgettable heroine that is both timely and timeless.
