Over the weekend I came across Georgia Durante’s autobiography “The Company She Keeps” and have not been able to put it down– I took it with me everywhere until I finished it last night. Georgia Durante (aka The Godmother) was one of the most photographed models in America in the 70s (some of you may remember her as the 1969 Kodak girl), but her glorious smile and beautiful face hid the tumultuous life she led as a Mafia wife. I have never read a more compelling and honest memoir; her story is both inspiring and captivating. How she managed to not only survive but succeed in life after all that she went through is beyond me. Georgia is a courageous woman we should all learn from. I highly recommend you all (women and men) to get a copy of this book, like NOW. It is one of those stories that you will remember for a lifetime. More riveting than any fiction I’ve read, it’s now one of my top 5 favorite books! Buy The Company She Keeps here. I plan on buying one for each of my girlfriends as a stocking stuffer!

Georgia is a busy lady these days, she owns several businesses in addition to raising her granddaughter, Angela. Check out Georgia’s websites below for more details!
