Runway : Confessions of a Not-So-Supermodel

Fresh out of Catholic high school, Michigan girl Meghan Ward heads for the Paris runways at the tender age of 18. She had never intended to be a model. In fact, she had the typical thinking-person’s qualms about the industry, particularly the unhealthy images of women it promotes. But she had the looks, and when a scout approached her, she couldn’t resist the chance to sample the glamour of the modeling scene—and rack up some money for college. Runway, her thoughtful yet dishy memoir, tells the story of what she learned about the world of high-fashion modeling—and herself.
