About this listen

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.

Finally!

This was so incredibly done, I'm really so proud of her. I got my degrees in Psychology and Sexual Science, and Maitland is really bringing truth. Shame and obedience are unnecessary for a healthy life.

Great story but not a good book title

for me it seemed like she's going through her biography story how much she got in porn by become a actress first, Maitland ward should be better actor then a pornstar for many reasons because she become an actor in a show called boy meets world in the late 90s and have been struggle for many many years in her career by finding her way in Hollywood though porn valley getting over it but I admit in the story itself has some very good decent moments also the pandemic of the covid-19 was a little struggle on her basic behalf and that is that is truly how it really seems like goes through a lot of changes through her life
overall great story great writing great narration and also a fine good story for somebody who becomes an address to a full-fledged which of course adult films star
Go Maitland ward Go!

More than you expect

Not only is the book entertaining it’s gripping. It reads like you are watching a movie. I could not stop once I started. Maitland’s ability to paint a picture is astonishing. Maitland takes you on not just her professional journey but also her personal journey as she discovered how to take control of her sexuality and in so doing taking control of her career.
