Being Kendra

And her second book, a follow-up to 2010's "New York Times" bestselling "Sliding Into Home", will showcase her trademark attitude, optimism, and love for her family while providing even more hilarious, heartwarming, and candid stories of juggling work, marriage, motherhood, and reality television cameras. Kendra - a true free spirit with an infectious laugh and down-to-earth nature - struggled with her new domestic life. But now as she settles into her role as wife and mother, she brings the same sense of humor and determined attitude to her continuing journey, asking herself - what's next? From dental assistant to Playboy girlfriend and face of a franchise to wife and new mother, Kendra has embraced what life has thrown her with grace, fortitude, and a ready laugh. In this book, Kendra looks back at her first two years of motherhood and marriage, and talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight: media scrutiny over her weight, her controversial sex tape, and her marriage.Kendra, who had been known on Girls Next Door for her athletic (and, enhanced) figure, will be refreshingly honest about her struggle with postpartum poundage and the difficulty of not looking sexy - which she had come to believe was her most valuable asset - after the birth of her son. Now, this daringly honest second memoir will capture Kendra and her family in intimate and humorous moments, as she reveals what she knows about living, loving, stumbling, picking herself up again, and ultimately finding her place in the world.
