Blackstone Audio, Inc. releases the audiobook "I'm No Angel," a memoir from former Victoria's Secret model Kylie Bisutti. Twenty-one-year-old model Kylie Bisutti stunned the fashion industry when she chose faith over fame and fortune and made the switch from supermodel to role model, in December 2011. In "I'm No Angel: From Victoria's Secret Model to Role Model," Bisutti reveals the rare behind-the-scenes of the modeling industry, her decision to leave her high-profile, multi-million dollar modeling career, and shares of how God changed her heart and life.
"'I'm No Angel' is enlightening and gives an account of a modeling industry that most people are not aware of-we are pleased to publish her memoir in audiobook format," says Rick Bleiweiss, Blackstone Audio's Head of Business Development. "It takes courage to share such a personal revelation with the world, her moving story is what makes this audio listening experience so memorable," continues Bleiweiss, "Her story resonates with people and draws strong support from the public with some rave reader reviews."
Bisutti shares her story-from her early years struggling to make it in the cut-throat world of modeling, her big break winning the Victoria's Secret Runway Angel competition, and the disillusionment and spiritual warfare that followed, to the moment she realized she could no longer reconcile her career with her Christian beliefs, surrendered her life to God, and dedicated her life to preaching a message of modesty and inner beauty. Along the way Bisutti talks about her personal struggles with inadequacy, low self-esteem, and her quest for approval in a world where being quintessentially thin, pretty, or sexy is never enough. She helps listeners understand that true beauty lies within and that real fulfillment comes from God.
"We are very excited to have 'I'm No Angel' available on Downpour.com because at the heart of it all, it really is a story of how you can be positive about who you are as a person without pressure and conformity," says Jay Tapp, Blackstone's Head of US Marketing, "Additionally we have been working with the publicity and marketing team at Tyndale House Publishers and there are some great giveaways associated with the launch of the audiobook via social media. We have heard that Kylie is excited about the release of her book in audio as well, and it is another outlet for her to share her compelling story." Bisutti also talks in an interview with Downpour.com about her rise to fame in the modeling world and her life now.
"I think people are going to be blown away by some of the revelations in this book," says Carol Traver, Sr. Acquisitions Editor, Tyndale House Publishers. "Kylie's message is hard to hear at times, and people will no doubt be shocked at what goes on behind the scenes, but I can't think of a more timely and important message for parents, young girls, and women of all ages."
From big city New York to Big Fork, Montana, Bisutti now enjoys a quieter life with her husband, where she focuses her time on being an actress, businesswoman, and public speaker making special appearances to share her message on the importance of modesty and to help young women understand that true beauty comes from within.
"I'm No Angel: From Victoria's Secret Model to Role Model," by Kylie Bisutti, narrated by Amy Rubinate, is available July 1, 2013 on Blackstone's retail site, Downpour.com.
