Sample Book Insights:
#1 My mother told me that when I was born, the doctor said that I was beautiful. The next day, her brother came to the hospital just to see me. He said that I was the most beautiful baby he’d ever seen.
#2 I am in hair and makeup on a photoshoot, and the hairdresser’s assistant asks me what my ethnicity is. I tell him simply: I’m a white girl. He laughs.
#3 My mother, who is classically beautiful, has been compared to Elizabeth Taylor. People of a certain generation used to tell her that she looked like a young Vivien Leigh. I would imagine the silky texture of her homecoming-queen sash and the weight of the sparkling crown she wore in her yearbook pictures.
#4 My parents have a wooden bureau in their living room that holds their silverware and china. Guests always gravitate toward one of the frames, which contains two circular images playfully angled toward each other. On the right is a black-and-white picture of my mother when she was in elementary school, with her pigtails. On the left is a picture of me at around the same age, with a black headband sweeping my hair away from my face.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

My mother told me that when I was born, the doctor said that I was beautiful. The next day, her brother came to the hospital just to see me. He said that I was the most beautiful baby he’d ever seen.

#2

I am in hair and makeup on a photoshoot, and the hairdresser’s assistant asks me what my ethnicity is. I tell him simply: I’m a white girl. He laughs.

#3

My mother, who is classically beautiful, has been compared to Elizabeth Taylor. People of a certain generation used to tell her that she looked like a young Vivien Leigh. I would imagine the silky texture of her homecoming-queen sash and the weight of the sparkling crown she wore in her yearbook pictures.

#4

My parents have a wooden bureau in their living room that holds their silverware and china. Guests always gravitate toward one of the frames, which contains two circular images playfully angled toward each other. On the right is a black-and-white picture of my mother when she was in elementary school, with her pigtails. On the left is a picture of me at around the same age, with a black headband sweeping my hair away from my face.

#5

I had very fine hair that always got tangled. When I was a child, my mother used a detangler spray and a comb after bathtime to brush out the knots. The tugging stung my scalp, and my neck would ache from holding my head up for her.

#6

I was not raised in a religious family, and I’ve never prayed much. I did, however, as a young girl, pray for beauty. I believed that for God to take you seriously, you had to make your mind as blank as possible and then focus on the expanding spots of light behind your eyelids.

#7

My mother wanted me to be free of shame, and she wanted me to be able to wear whatever I wanted. She never wanted me to think my body or my beauty was too much.

#8

My parents were very supportive of my modeling career, and they found me an agent. They drove me to shoots and castings in Los Angeles the way other parents drove their kids to local soccer tournaments.
