The Gift, Inbox Full Part 2

by Catherine Ashley, Debra Hainescornwell (Editor), Philippe von Schorlemer (Photographer)

A seven-month whirlwind romance between London and Washington, D.C. leads Cat and her young daughters to move stateside, where her dashing new husband is a photographer assigned to The White House. Within months, she is fast-tracked into a hit reality TV show, The Real Housewives of D.C. But Cat’s dream of living happily ever after with Prince Charming is about to be shattered into pieces. With her husband on the Obama campaign trail, a series of odd events and stranger communcations have her piecing together a macabre jigsaw puzzle of the demons that haunted him, and other lives…Behind his mask are dark ghosts and while the cameras are rolling, she desperately tries to keep her new family together, until the day she realizes she can never fix him. As her marriage collapses and the show is over, Cat is left totally heartbroken, homeless, and on her knees thousands of miles from home. But giving up is not an option. This is the journey to a newfound reserve of strength–an extraordinary story about celebrity and fame, love and betrayal, reality and perception, all told with Cat Ommanney’s trademark honesty and humor–No bollocks!

This was actually a really raw, intimate portrait of life behind the camera and I applaud her for it.
