At the event,
Mary read passages from her gripping memoir, took questions and signed copies of the book. In
"Fall To Pieces",
Mary — mother, model, bipolar disorder survivor and recovering drug addict — beautifully tells the story of her life and her longtime relationship with
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/former
VELVET REVOLVER frontman
Scott Weiland.
Mary reveals the extreme highs and lows of her life with refreshing candor and unflinching detail. She offers a window into the world of modeling and rock 'n' roll, while at the same time providing deep insights into the drug and alcohol addictions that could have killed her, and her serious, recently diagnosed and misunderstood mental illness.
