Pierrot looks back on the early, often crazy times in her life with warmth, compassion, and even laughter.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>She takes the reader through her unhappy childhood and her disastrous relationships with men. But despite the abuse and torments she suffered, she was able to change and grow through each relationship. One man brought out her ability to play, another helped make her fearless, and still a third helped her find her sexuality. Most importantly, one of these men brought her to rock bottom, which gave her a reason to start recovery work and truly change her life. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">From cast-iron nasty person to a softer, more beautiful butterfly (who still retains her iron strength), Pierrot invites the reader along on her remarkable journey to self-acceptance. No matter what has happened, she urges, a person does not have to let the bad times control their lives or their future.
