Life Of A Star Before The Fame: Special Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798348442804)

She confessed her darkest secret. Now she has to live with the fallout.

Lilly DuPont has everything she ever dreamed of: a record deal, a fiancé who adores her, and a tour that's launching her into superstardom. But the ghosts of her past won't stay buried.

Before the sold-out shows and the Grammy nominations, Lilly was surviving-bartending at Cheetah's strip club, falling for a drug dealer who broke her heart, and making choices she's spent years trying to forget.

Now, engaged to producer Eric Powers and on the verge of mainstream success, Lilly is haunted by the secrets she's kept from everyone she loves:

✨ The abortion she had after her dealer boyfriend ghosted her

✨ The casual relationships that made her feel wanted but left her empty

✨ The drunken threesome in Turks & Caicos-with her best friend's husband

When the guilt becomes too heavy to carry, Lilly makes a choice that changes everything: she tells the truth.

But honesty has a price. Her best friend Mary won't speak to her. Her fiancé Eric questions whether he can trust her. And Lilly has to face the possibility that some secrets are better left buried.

From the dance floors of LA to the stages of the BET Awards, Life of a Star Before the Fame is a searing exploration of ambition, trauma, healing, and what it really costs to become who you're meant to be.
