Description: This is the memoir of the once sought-after sexy siren who appeared in hip-hop music videos. Karrine transitioned to film when director F. Gary Gray picked her to costar in his film A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel. But the movie and music video sets, swanky Miami and New York restaurants, and trysts with celebrities featured in celebrity magazines only skim the surface of Karrine's life. This memoir--part tell-all, part cautionary tale--shows how she came to be the confidante of so many, why she kept their secrets, and how she found herself in Hollywood after a life marked by physical abuse, rape, and drugs--all before she was twenty-six. By sharing her story, she hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticized industry.--From publisher description.
