In this honest, passionate autobiography, Penny James welcomes you to experience her transition from a young beauty contest winner in Colorado to a world-renowned fashion model whose career spanned eleven years with the Wilhelmina & Ford agencies. Penny appeared on five Playboy covers, refusing to do a centerfold. She was part of the 1960s and 1970s party scenes in Chicago and New York City.
During the course of a difficult marriage and later divorce from her husband of twenty years, Penny became an alcoholic with dangerous addiction and self-esteem challenges. Her healing journey began in AA, where she developed a deep relationship with God. In the eighties, the author purchased a 100-year-old farmhouse in Pennsylvania, where she communed with wildlife and nature, ultimately growing into the wise, enlightened woman who wrote this story - her own story - to move, inspire and, possibly, save others.
Penny's faith in God was fierce and unwavering; it was her strength on her darkest days. She believed that we are ALL connected on God's earth. A favorite expression she spoke often was, zero degrees of separation.
Penny James passed away on April 11, 2019. Her sister's promise on Penny's death bed was to finish this book and get it published. This precious gift to the world is part of Penny's beautiful legacy.
