Summary
From an early age, Amber van de Bunt knew she wasn't like the other girls in town. From childhood struggles with depression and eating disorders, her years as a topless dancer in Florida, and an eventual abortion and suicide attempt, to her rebirth in Los Angeles as a porn star named Karmen Karma, overcoming her relationship with her abusive mother, and her struggle to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle - van de Bunt's life has been a wild roller coaster. With humor, alacrity, and profound insight, she reveals her deepest, darkest secrets and pulls no punches - least of all with herself.

Her total openness of who she was and is ..
A frank and honest book.
You may find her lifestyle somewhat different, and not one you understand.
Though, appears to leave nothing hidden.
I'm sure will be an inspiration for some.

Interesting story and we'll narrated
I liked this book. The narration is good and a lot of true emotion is revealed in the story.
Also, I like the way she explains how she deals with some of the stereotyping and judgements she gets in her line of work.
