Description: "In the 1980s, Jill Dodd determined that her ticket out of a dysfunctional home was to make it as a top model in Paris. Armed with only her desire for freedom and independence, she embarks on an epic journey that takes her to uncharted territory--the Parisian fashion industry with all its beautiful glamour and its ugly underbelly of sex, drugs, and excess. From there, Jill begins an eye-opening adventure that includes trips to Monte Carlo, sexual rendezvous, and falling in love with one of the richest men in the world. After agreeing to become one of his 'pleasure' wives, she discovers new territory within herself--and that the desire for independence and agency over her own life is more powerful than love and money"--Jacket.
