Holly Madison

romance, rolling the dice, and the road to reinvention

When you've come out the other side of the twisted world of the Playboy mansion, where do you land? If you're Holly Madison--there's no place like Las Vegas! After making the sudden decision to reclaim her life, Holly broke free from the sheltered, deceptive confines of the mansion (which meant exiting a hit television show) and was determined to start her life over on no one's terms but her own. Deciding on the glamorous and dreamlike city of Las Vegas, Holly quickly realized that the labels and stereotypes from her past weren't so quick to leave her. With a fierce commitment to take charge of her own narrative, Holly dives headfirst into a journey of self-discovery. After a whirlwind stint on Dancing with the Stars, she snags the coveted lead role in the Strip's hottest new burlesque spectacular and lands a reality series spotlighting her new life as a single woman. If her own television show and dream job as a showgirl weren't enough to keep her busy, Holly explores the decadent, exclusive inner world of Sin City, navigating its social and dating scenes with humor and heart. When it comes to romance, she finds an eclectic cast of characters, from fame hounds to long distance loves to the occasional celebrity and more than one tabloid mishap. She learns that each dating disaster holds an important, and in some cases difficult, lesson about herself. This memoir is a comedy of errors, set against the glitz and glamour of the dazzling Vegas strip. Through the wild and crazy experiences on one young woman's quest to "have it all, " Holly faces her fears, anxieties, and insecurities to discover that her journey to self-sufficiency is also her path to healing.--Adapted from dust jacket
