Summary
A celebrity memoir unlike any other, this is an empowering, sex-positive, behind-the-scenes look at both Hollywood and the porn industry. Perfect for fans of Pleasure Activism and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star.
Maitland Ward got her start in acting as a teenager when she was cast in The Bold and the Beautiful, but it wasn’t until she joined the later seasons of the sitcom Boy Meets World that she got her first taste of fame. As the loveable co-ed Rachel McGuire, Ward soon found herself being typecast as the good girl next door and was repeatedly denied darker, more intriguing roles. So she made a career change—one that required her to turn away from the Disney universe—and eventually established herself as one of the most-respected actresses in the porn industry today.
Now, Ward reveals the ups and downs of her fascinating career, including personal stories from her time on one of the most beloved shows of the 1990s, in this anything but a run-of-the-mill memoir. By showing Hollywood and triple-X stardom in a whole new light, she offers a fresh and stirring perspective on the sex industry and “champions the discovery of freedom in sexuality” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Ultimately a story of hope and triumph, this is a sharp and provocative look at a former Disney princess who found her fairy tale in porn.

Odd start but interesting
The beginning of the book is very strange.
She begins the book talking about her childhood sexual experiences. Which isn't so much the problem it's more that everything sex based in the book is whispered seductively and when talking about herself as a young teen in a way its very uncomfortable and comes across as if it's fantasy written for erotica.
The rest of the book is good and very interesting journey. If you can get pass every time a man is mentioned being whispered in your ear that is.

I love this book
I didn’t know anything about Maitland but this story is so powerful and deep insights to woman’s soul - the part that is usually not talk about. Thank you for your writing this. It’s fantastically written and superbly narrated. It will be one day a blockbuster movie.

It’s naughty but nice
Interesting seeing Hollywood and the other Hollywood side by side. Boy Meets World isn’t a show I remember seeing much of but it’s evident that Maitland is a fascinating and determined woman who has found some peace with her life through adult film.
