We’ve read the scandalous headlines, watched her sexy breakout performances in Starship Troopers and Wild Things, and seen her many public faces on her reality television show—the beautiful vixen, the devoted mother, the hardworking entertainer and the fun-loving friend. But how well do we really know Denise Richards?
Women everywhere will relate to Denise’s emotional journey from hard-working career woman to single, working
mother. Like so many small-town girls, she dreamed of making it big in Hollywood. But following a painful, high-profile divorce from Charlie Sheen, she found herself raising their two young daughters alone as her mother was dying of cancer. Through it all, she managed to keep her sense of humour and optimism. Denise writes openly and honestly about these experiences and more: she lets readers in on her childhood dreams, her fated move to Hollywood with her close-knit family, her rise to fame, the pressures of living in the spotlight, and the controversy surrounding her relationships.
Inspiring and uplifting, raw and revealing, Denise finally lets her fans in on the resilient woman behind the bombshell
persona, the person her friends and family already know: The Real Girl Next Door.
