From an early age, Amber van de Bunt knew she wasn't like the other girls in town. From childhood struggles with depression and eating disorders, her years as a topless dancer in Florida, and an eventual abortion and suicide attempt, to her rebirth in Los Angeles as a porn star named Karmen Karma, overcoming her relationship with her abusive mother, and her struggle to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle - van de Bunt's life has been a wild roller coaster. With humor, alacrity, and profound insight, she reveals her deepest, darkest secrets and pulls no punches - least of all with herself.

This is an amazing book. It is also amazing to hear her story coming from her. A prime example that anybody can overcome any struggle that they have. I can recommend this book to anybody who is going through any emotional pain, has been struggling with an addiction, or just somebody who wants to hear a compelling story about overcoming struggles. Overall, this is an amazing book.

I related to this story so much. so much of what she wrote about was so heartbreaking and sad but what she made of it is truly inspirational. I felt her struggles in my bones and think that this was such an important story to get out. As women we endure so much abuse that forms who we become but that doesn't mean we have to stay there. I'm so happy that she didn't stay there and that she found somebody whose love transformed her. that's exactly what happened to me. I've been clean for 12 years, and this really resonated with me.

Powerful!

Having survived the 60's & Viet Nam, a life on the road with a Rock 'n Roll Band in the 70's, Amanda survives a most dangerous lifestyle all her own. Well done. From S Utah

Very uplifting and raw! I loved every page. I am also an addict and have a little sobriety right now… this story gives me hope and made me see addiction from a completely different angle.

Good feels.
