Book Description:
Face Value: From Working the Pole to Baring My Soul is Less Than Zero meets Miami Vice but with more make-up and hairspray. It is the story of a beautiful,
free-spirited, wide-eyed little girl from the island of O`ahu who has no
childhood memories before the age of nine. What trauma could have erased
her early life, she may never know. What she does know is that for as far
back as she can remember these events influenced her unusual life.
Christine tells her story with raw, honest, relatable, and no holds barred
writing, taking us through the pain of her adolescence compounded by a
rare skin disease that left her face permanently disfigured. Her darkest
moments include drug addiction and dancing nude on stages in Waikiki. In
Christine’s personal story, we experience life behind the tropical island
backdrop of coconuts and palm trees, falling headlong into the underground
world of adult entertainment where Christine spent nearly a decade trying
to find her self-worth.
Meet the Author:
Macdonald is a Los Angeles-based author who grew up on the Hawaiian
Island of Oʻahu. At 13, she was diagnosed with Acne Conglobata, a rare and
severe skin disease that left over 80 percent of her face scarred. Adding
to her trauma of an emotionally and psychologically neglected childhood,
it led her to Hawaii's underworld as an exotic dancer in Waikiki. For
the first time, she felt beautiful and partially fulfilled her dream of
becoming a Fosse dancer. Through her writing, Macdonald uses her voice, a
unique blend of cutting-edge truth, and self-deprecating humor to inspire
others to release their shame and tell their story. She is public about
her struggles with addiction and mental illness—and her road to recovery.
It is her passion to speak to people with self-esteem issues and, rather
than judge them for their choices, help them find value in embracing what
they consider to be their flaws.
