The Currency of Love : A Courageous Journey to Finding the Love Within

Determined to escape her dysfunctional home in California, Jill Dodd sets off to make her mark as a top model in Europe. Soon enveloped in the Parisian fashion industry of the 1980s, hooked by both its glamour and its ugly underbelly of sex, drugs, and excess, Jill is swept up in an eye-opening and harrowing adventure in this "raw and inspiring story" (PopSugar). In an intimate look behind the scenes of the international modeling business, Jill "writes earnestly and refreshingly about learning many of life's more difficult lessons the hard way" (Kirkus Reviews). With riveting accounts of her trials and triumphs, from sexual exploitation to falling in love with one of the richest men in the world, The Currency of Love reveals one woman's journey to understanding an invaluable truth: nothing is worth sacrificing her integrity, inner peace, and free spirit for-not even love.
