Mark Taylor seemingly has the perfect life with his wealth, fame, good looks, and an adoring fanbase. However, his arrival in Miami to shoot a major film quickly spirals into a series of tabloid nightmares.
Caught in a whirlwind of excessive parties, explosive scandals, and public meltdowns, Mark's life starts to unravel, revealing a secret too large and destructive to conceal. Soon enough, he finds himself in rehab, trading champagne toasts for soul-searching and red carpet events for therapeutic group sessions. Welcome to rock bottom, albeit with a twist of luxury.
Drawing from behind-the-scenes research at the famed Betty Ford Center (conducted with a nod to humor and permission), Mark Taylor's Checkered Past offers a witty, satirical glimpse into the pitfalls of addiction, celebrity ego, and the ludicrous side of Hollywood. Filled with belly laughs, rock 'n' roll nods, and stark realities, this novel reminds us that moving forward is impossible if you're constantly looking back.
As the stand-alone sequel in the Megan Pagano saga (the beloved Lottery Heiress), this book delivers all the dysfunctional allure of fame, laced with a robust shot of reality, recovery, and ultimately, redemption.
Funny, provocative, and surprisingly uplifting, Mark Taylor's Checkered Past is the kind of rehab tale you'll actually want to dive into.
