There comes a time in every girl's life, where she has to choose good or choose bad.
Amy Asbury chose bad, hands down.
Good meant wallflowers, secretaries and subservient wives.
Bad meant power- and a possible escape from a life of secrets.
At twelve years old she was trying to make sense of a drug-addicted father and his disturbing behavior.
By fifteen she was dealing with horrendous depression, blackouts and rape.
At sixteen she was in a mental institution for suicidal tendencies and violent behavior.
She knew she could never be normal.
The only place for a girl like her was Hollywood.
This is a true story of the social ascent (and eventual decline) of a girl in the Sunset Strip music scene of the early 1990's.
From crazy parties to glittered junkies and man-eating strippers, Amy has chronicled what life was like back in the days of excess and debauchery.
It is not just a fascinating look into an amusing time in pop culture, but also details the mindset of a young woman trying to find confidence and self-worth in a life full of pain and chaos.
The party came screeching to a halt when the Grunge movement took over and heroin became more prominent.
How far off track can a person go before it's too late?.
