This was a very sincere, inspirational and humble memoir about the Authors life from early childhood to Adult years encompassing all her struggles with success and path to fame and fortune. Plus size women in particular will enjoy reading this book and the huge momentum of awareness and acceptance, that Ashley has created and brought into the world of Plus-size fashions, body image & weight issues. She has defied all the traditional industry standards in modeling and high fashion; her brave and determined, "Entrepreneurial spirit", has crossed over and broken many barriers/boundries and old stigmas related to todays Fashion/modeling world from every angle - 'Applause'. Also factually in North America many women wear fashion sizes from SIZES 12 , 14, & 16 nowadays which is now the accepted NORM for weight and clothing sizes: this can be considered 'Normal and Healthy', weight, maintained thru eating 3 complete, Nutritious and balanced meals per day including healthy snacking in between. Marilyn Monroe as one example, in the 60's era, who weighed about 160lbs being 5Ft. 5inches tall and she looked beautiful, healthy and curvy also; her weight was never an issue nor talked about negatively, while Marilyn's beauty was widely accepted at that time. Ashley is a curvaceous, SEXY-SCORPIO (Scorpio's are commonly known for Sex-Appeal & magnetism) with ambition and life purpose: she is also a beautiful, positive, confident, successful role-model alongside being a smart, career oriented woman inside and out - she carries herself well.
