\n<\/a>Scene: Julia Bernadsky and Shanti Patty Owen Un Deiux with friends, family, and colleagues.\u00a0<\/em>The\u00a0book is a true story of a desperate ex-supermodel turned legal secretary trying to find love in all the dark places. This is the tragic but ultimately triumphant tale of an aging beauty churning through lovers to escape her pain until she finally accepts that she suffers from sex\/love addiction and fights her way to a new, sober life.\u00a0\u201cI accepted lust only as a bad second to love, and I accepted it often.\u201d\u00a0Details on ordering the book and Kindle version are located at the end of this post.
