Linda Boreman was just twenty-one when she met Chuck Traynor, the man who would change her life. Less than two years later she was catapulted to fame she could never have imagined in her wildest dreams - or worst nightmares. She had become Linda Lovelace, international adult film superstar. Enslaved by the man who would eventually force her into marriage so that he could control her completely she was beaten savagely, hypnotized, raped, threatened with disfigurement and death, terrorized into prostitution at gun- and knifepoint, and forced to perform unspeakable perversions on film. She starred in the movie Deep Throat, which brought porn into the mainstream. Years later, Linda would tell her side of the story - a modern horror tale of humiliation, betrayal, and violence that would rock the porn industry and put its teller in fear of her life.--From back cover.
