When `Extraordinary' Isn't Enough: One Woman's True Story of Survival Proves that We Truly Can Overcome Anything


MONTREAL, Oct. 31, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Is your life story worth telling? Have you seriously sat down and thought about the life you have lived and the extraordinary circumstances that have shaped who you have become? Is your past a field of roses and wildflowers or is it a nightmare that doesn't quite know when to stop? No matter where you are in life or what has happened to you, every life has a story.

Daveda Kert's life has had more than a person's fair share of trauma and heartache. Yet, she tells her story for one reason: she says, "If we can gain insight into a small part of ourselves through the heart-wrenching truths of another, then we have learned."

"Secrets of the Mirror" (now available from 1stBooks Library) is a nonfiction, true-life account of one woman's struggle to find herself in a life full of gambling, illegal acts, murder, fear, stalking, extortion, kidnapping and abuse. While it sounds like the latest Hollywood thriller, Kert's life has contained all of these things, and, what's more, she has emerged triumphant on the other side.

In "Secrets of the Mirror," Kert takes the reader into the bizarre and lucrative worlds of stripping and table dancing. She tells of the affairs she had with rock stars, baseball stars and hockey superstars. From one chapter to the next, Kert leaves the reader curious and captivated -- wanting to know how one woman could overcome such extraordinary circumstances and come out on the other side triumphant.

Daveda Kert's life has been nothing short of extraordinary. After being kidnapped at seventeen, she found herself an unwed mother and teenage bride. Her life took a more complicated turn after she became a stripper and table dancer. She then began having affairs with many different men. It was the suggestions of several people that she put down on paper her story which prompted her to pen "Secrets of the Mirror."
