Produktbeschreibung
Rebel in High Heels is a memoir about Dr. Charlotte Laws - "the Erin Brockovich of revenge porn" - who was voted one of the "30 fiercest women in the world." She fought a dangerous war against "the most hated man on the Internet" to protect her daughter and other victims. She was bombarded with death threats and computer viruses and targeted by a stalker who appeared at her home. But who is this woman that MSNBC calls a hero? In addition to detailing her gripping revenge porn fight, this book chronicles the first 22 years of Laws's life. Her adoptive mother committed suicide, her little brother was killed, and her father's only comment was he wished it had been her. Laws's first boyfriend was pop idol Tom Jones. She has hobnobbed with the rich and famous. Though not born with VIP access, she taught herself how to gate-crash any event, anywhere, anytime. Rebel in High Heels details Laws' intriguing-sometimes scandalous-encounters with Bill Cosby and other stars. At age 20, Laws earned 300k per year as a Las Vegas chip-chatter. She also worked as a bandit cab driver, a backup singer for an Elvis imitator and bodyguard for a prostitute. Laws - a former Southern California politician and weekly NBC commentator - has appeared on "The Late Show," Fox News, "Oprah," "Nightline," CNN, "Dr. Drew" and "Larry King Live." She has a Ph.D. in Social Ethics, as well as two Master's degrees and two BAs. Her articles have been published in The Huffington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The NY Daily News, Newsweek, Jezebel, Salon and the L.A. Daily News. Rebel in High Heels is mostly about perseverance and looking beyond oneself. It is about fighting for ones dreams, while striving to better the world. Laws is the little Atlanta girl who could. And did.
