Whole Truth: The Reality of It All

One of reality television's most well-known and most unpredictable personalities--the former child actress and star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills--speaks her mind and tells her truth in this blazingly honest memoir.

"I've come to learn that holding onto secrets is like holding your breath. Finally, I feel strong enough to speak my truth. I am unafraid and unapologetic. I am ready."

There have been many Hollywood tell-alls, but none like The Whole Truth. Kim Richards is a force of nature, a star who barreled into America's pop culture psyche with her larger-than-life presence on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But there is so much more to the Kim people know from television. The Whole Truth is the harrowing, all-too-real, and ultimately empowering story of a woman who has been through hell and back, endured, grew strong, and learned to become her own fiercest advocate.

The soul-baring confession of a woman revealing what it was like to be treated like a show pony as a child star, as a disposable object as a wife, a whipping post as a sister, and as a tabloid commodity as a celebrity. But above all else, it is a triumphant tale of a determined woman who refused to be broken--a fierce, loving, and relatable human who is strong, flawed, and real.

Illustrated with 25-35 photos, The Whole Truth is Kim Richards's truth as only she can tell it--unvarnished, painful, and authentic.
