Non-Fiction Memoir
Teen runaway, supermodel, and actress CarrÉ Otis found
herself in the public eye from a very tender age. Millions
of people gazed at provocative images of her in magazine and
billboard ads from Guess and Calvin Klein as well as in
features on the pages of Playboy and the Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition. By the time she was twenty, they had also
seen her on posters for the controversial film Wild Orchid,
with Mickey Rourke. The troubled marriage to Rourke that
followed soon thereafter was widely reported on in the
media, as were CarrÉ’s struggles with drugs and a
particularly brutal eating disorder. But to see someone
naked on the page or exposed on the screen and in tabloids
doesn’t mean we know who that person really is. After a decade-long deeply reflective and spiritual journey
to discover for herself who she is, CarrÉ found the balance
and serenity she sought and is now ready to share her side
of the story with the world. She confronts her complex past
fearlessly and with unrelenting candor to set the record
straight. The result is a narrative of success, despair, and
ultimate triumph over sexual exploitation and our cultural
obsession with appearance—a narrative of beauty disrupted,
reclaimed, and made more radiant through self-acceptance,
inner peace, and the love of family.
