Overcome

A Memoir of Abuse, Addiction, Sex Work, and Recovery

By: Amber van de Bunt

Narrated by: Amber van de Bunt

From an early age, Amber van de Bunt knew she wasn't like the other girls in town. From childhood struggles with depression and eating disorders, her years as a topless dancer in Florida, and an eventual abortion and suicide attempt, to her rebirth in Los Angeles as a porn star named Karmen Karma, overcoming her relationship with her abusive mother, and her struggle to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle - van de Bunt's life has been a wild roller coaster. With humor, alacrity, and profound insight, she reveals her deepest, darkest secrets and pulls no punches - least of all with herself.

Very uplifting and raw! I loved every page. I am also an addict and have a little sobriety right now… this story gives me hope and made me see addiction from a completely different angle.
