Beyond the Glamour Model Persona
What makes 'This Happened' particularly compelling is how it contrasts with Price's public image. Known for her bold confidence and glamorous lifestyle, the book reveals the vulnerable woman behind the media persona. It's a stark reminder that public figures often conceal private battles.
