In 1974, a twenty-year-old Christie Brinkley was “discovered” outside a Paris phone booth, which set off a meteoric modeling career that would land her on the covers of hundreds of magazines, be photographed on six continents, in more than thirty countries and cement her legacy as an All-American icon. For the first time the model, actress, illustrator, photographer, art lover, and activist is sharing the full story of her roller-coaster life both in front of and behind the cameras including the betrayal by her biological father as a child, her whirlwind career, traveling the world as a supermodel at the height of the model wars, living life on the road with her rock-star husband and their baby, her four tumultuous marriages — including her heartbreaking divorce from Billy Joel, and the harrowing experiences that almost cut her life short.
