Description
"Graham's honest new book chronicles the making of a body-positive icon . . . the story behind the success story. Often charming and inspirational." —Vogue
Voluptuous beauty Ashley Graham has been modeling professionally since the age of thirteen. Discovered at a shopping mall in Nebraska, her stunning face and sexy curves have graced the covers of top magazines, including Cosmopolitan and British Vogue, and she was the first size 14 model to appear on the front of the wildly popular Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The face of brands such as H&M Studio, she is also a judge for the latest season of America's Next Top Model. And that's only the beginning for this extraordinary talent.
A woman who proves that when it comes to beauty, size is just a number, Ashley is the voice for the body positivity movement today and a role model for all women—no matter their individual body type, shape, or weight.
In this collection of insightful, provocative essays illustrated with a dozen photos, Ashley shares her perspective on how ideas around body image are evolving—and how we still have work to do; the fun—and stress—of a career in the fashion world; her life before modeling; and her path to accepting her size without limiting her dreams—defying rigid industry standards and naysayers who told her it couldn't be done. As she talks about her successes and setbacks, Ashley offers support for every woman coming to terms with who she is, bolsters her self-confidence, and motivates her to be her strongest, healthiest, and most beautiful self.
"Evocative." —The Cut
"Positive, understanding, and uplifting." —Booklist

        May 1, 2017
        Graham takes readers through a career in modeling that began almost unbelievably predictably: after a scout approached her family at a Nebraska mall, at age 12 she took a modeling course, landed catalog gigs, went to New York to get signed by a major agency, and did just that. She has been working ever since, recently breaking barriers as a plus-size model on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Vogue, and her experience informs this part memoir, part self-help guide coauthored by Paley. She talks specifics about modeling, especially doing so while a size 16, and addresses her dating pitfalls, confidence struggles, and financial cluelessness as a young model, as well as conflating sex with acceptance before meeting the man who would become her friend, then her husband, in church. A public figure who embraces social media, she understands that commentssometimes shockingly hurtfulabout her body will be tossed around carelessly, but from her unique position she is working on a different conversation, of body diversity and inclusion for all women. Positive, understanding, and uplifting.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
