Notes: The answer "no" is unacceptable to Marie Pizano in her quest of life.  In her memoir, from Barefoot to Stilettos, she tells the story of her life thus far.  She vividly recounts her experience from childhood days, living on food stamp, learning the ways of local gangs, and double-dutching on the streets of south side Chicago.  Brilliantly, she share the inspirational tale of her survival of a life-changing motorcycle accident and her perseverance to keep moving forward despite the odds she faced.  She reveals, in complete honesty, the feeling and struggles she faced when she moved to Memphis to live as a trophy-wife life-- dealing with everything form the mean girls, monster-in-law, and the panic attacks, to becoming a mother, her post-divorce years, and defeating the odds by building an entertainment powerhouse-- all while discovering herself, her life, and her power.  Through explorations of her own past, present, and potential future, Marie reflects on how the sum of her trils and triumphs have shaped her into the empowered woman she has become in her incessant quest to find her "yes."-- Taken from Amazon.com June 17, 2014.
