Great job Carre!

If you could sum up Beauty, Disrupted in three words, what would they be?

Honest, upfront, unflinching

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beauty, Disrupted?

Wow, there were so many - Carre's early years (before she left home) really set the stage for the years to follow

What does Carre Otis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice provides the honesty to recount her journey. I really did';t know much about her, but since my favorite audiobooks are ones read by the author, I thought I would give this one a try. What a jarring story! I am amazed she made it through and admire the strength

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I think I would just leave it as Beauty, disrupted.

Any additional comments?

Glad I listened to it and hope you like it too!

This book touched me.

What a powerful story. This woman lived a pretty extreme life and I learned a lot from her story.

Powerful story.

Powerful story. I reccomend this book to all the women in my life and for all women period. read by Carre Otis herself, makes the story even more powerful and compelling.

A surprising depth.

I always thought of Carrie as that annoying superficial model that slept her way into her career. That may of been true in part in her early years but I soon found myself drawn deeper into her story and found a surprising deth there. She has overcome a violent marrige to Mickey Rourke, a hardcore drug addiction and many other trials in her life. She found her way to grace and harmony, to being honest in herself and creating a positive future. She used her faith to heal her past and found her way back onto her highest path.

Her story draws you in, takes you by the hand and shows you the world behind the looking glass.

keep you turning pages

if you love bio's and memoir's then this is one for you. I didn't know that much about her before I started listening to this book and was afraid it was going to be a lot of I'm a pretty girl my life is so hard feel bad for me, but it wasn't at all. She was very honest and open about her whole life and has really overcome quite a lot. She became a human and I suggest this book to anyone who think they may know about her and her life.

Behind the glamour

Raw and vulnerable, she shares the dark realities and still coveys hope through healing. Inspiring!
