The fan-favorite star of Netflix's hit reality series Selling Sunset recalls her life in and out of the spotlight, an inspiring and surprising chronicle of adversity, tragedy, trauma, and success.

In the streaming reality series Selling Sunset, Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet is the charismatic, calm, and level-headed agent who effortlessly lands multi-million-dollar homes while sidestepping the drama of a cutthroat business in one of the wealthiest and most glamorous places in the world. Often thought of as the "big sister" of her co-stars for her compassionate advice and uplifting attitude, Mary is admired for her unwavering kindness. But behind her sunny personality is a remarkable story of resilience, forged by a life filled with profound challenges.

In Selling Sunshine, Mary candidly reveals the most grueling and darkest moments of her personal journey. Becoming a mother at sixteen, she was forced to rely on her own resolve and tenacity, juggling multiple jobs while attending school and caring for her son. With vulnerability and grace, Mary reflects on how her crash-course in adulthood not only changed her, but prepared her for the trials to come, including two painful divorces and toxic relationships. Despite the pain, she kept moving forward even in the aftermath of terrifying trauma.

Yet no matter how many obstacles she faced, Mary refused to let the darkness extinguish her light. It was that same strength and determination that eventually carried her to the top of her field and helped her cope with unexpected fame. Talking about her experience on Selling Sunset, she offers a rare glimpse at cast dynamics and the drama behind the scenes, and reveals the lessons she's learned--from staying true to yourself to projecting positivity by supporting colleagues. Unfiltered and genuine, Mary's story will inspire readers to overcome life's obstacles, and discover the power of finding their own sunshine.
