Runway

Fresh out of Catholic high school, Michigan girl Meghan Ward heads for the Paris runways at the tender age of 18. She had never intended to be a model. In fact, she had the typical thinking-person's qualms about the industry, particularly the unhealthy images of women it promotes. But she had the looks, and when a scout approached her, she couldn't resist the chance to sample the glamour of the modeling scene-and rack up some money for college. Runway, her thoughtful yet dishy memoir, tells the story of what she learned about the world of high-fashion modeling-and herself.
