Behind Paris Hilton's meteoric rise from Upper West Side club kid to household name lies her
self-proclaimed ?superpower? of ADHD and a hidden history that traumatized and defined her.
Shocking funny and surprisingly profound Paris is the deeply personal memoir of the ultimate
It Girl and a stunning inside view of a pop culture phenomenon. Until in a revealing
documentary Paris Hilton disclosed that her childhood was shattered by two years of strip
searches isolation beatings restraint and brainwashing within the now infamous ?troubled
teen industry ? Paris Hilton was simply the billionaire heiress America had watched grow up on
television on the internet and in tabloids. But there was always more to Paris Hilton than
met the eye. Yes she is the media personality DJ entrepreneur model singer actress and
icon beloved all over the globe. And yet... Paris is the story people have always wanted Paris
Hilton to tell?the story of who she really is. In this revealing and thought-provoking book
Hilton will separate the creation from the creator the brand from the ambassador and show the
woman who grew up with incredible privilege but was also trapped in a world of unreasonable
expectation at a moment when young women were humiliated for sport in a gossip economy on
steroids. Paris recounts her perilous journey through pre-#METOO sexual politics with grace
generosity and plenty of fun rising above a series of heart-wrenching challenges to find
healing lasting love and a life of meaning and purpose. The parallel story arcs in Hilton's
braided narrative come to full bloom as a watershed portrait of the Aughts challenging each of
us to question our role in her story and her role in ours. The result is an intimate and
unexpected memoir about persona and personification the price of being young and disobedient
and the complexity of manifesting your dreams after watching part of yourself disappear.
