THE BRIDESMAID’S DAUGHTER: FROM GRACE KELLY’S WEDDING TO A HOMELESS SHELTER – SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT MY MOTHER

Compelling

‘A well-researched, compelling read about modelling, friendship, mother-daughter-family relationships, mental illness and NYC. Written with honesty and love. If you’re after a page turner, this is it.’

Nel

Sensitively told

‘A really interesting and sensitively told memoir about post-partum depression and how it affected the author’s life. Her mother was one of the original Ford models and lived a glamorous life (and yes, was a bridesmaid to Grace Kelly, although that isn’t the most interesting part of the story), only to find that an untreated mental illness led to her eventual downfall. I was engrossed in the story and am glad that Nyna wrote it!’
