About this book

Book Summary

"Standing up to bullies is my kind of thing."
How did Stormy Daniels become the woman willing to take on a president?

In this book, Stormy Daniels tells her whole story for the first time: what it's like to be a leading actress and director in the adult film business, the full truth about her journey from a rough childhood in Louisiana onto the national stage, and everything about her interaction with Donald Trump that led to the nondisclosure agreement and the behind-the-scenes attempts to intimidate her.

Stormy is funny, sharp, warm, and impassioned by turns. Her story is a thoroughly American one, of a girl who loved reading and horses and who understood from a very young age what she wanted--and who also knew she'd have to get every step of the way there on her own.

People can't stop talking about Stormy Daniels. And they won't be able to stop talking about her fresh, surprising, completely candid, nothing-held-back book.

Media Reviews

"As I found myself comparing Daniels to Trump, I also became shamefully aware that even the most feminist-minded among us often are viscerally repelled when we witness women who are unvarnished in their normal human self-interest....Her book is not exactly a gripping read or a remarkable piece of literature, but it's blunt, funny and authentic. She is all the things women are not supposed to be. And yet you like her — not in spite of her rule-breaking but for it. Perhaps more important, when you read her story, you believe her." - The Washington Post, Jill Filipovic

"Full Disclosure spares few details in its portrait of Trump. Not surprisingly, he comes across as manipulative, insecure and vain. Surprisingly, the Trump Daniels met in 2006 was less eruptive than the present iteration. Apparently, the Oval Office can do that... Make no mistake, Full Disclosure is a story for our times. Ancient Rome has returned, complete with bread and circuses and a president impersonating Caligula." - The Guardian

"Full Disclosure, which St. Martin's Press will publish on Oct. 2, contains few new bombshells, but it is likely to rattle the White House nonetheless. In the memoir, Ms. Clifford gives a vivid, detailed account of her encounter with Mr. Trump in 2006 and its aftermath. Her book comes out just weeks before the November midterm elections, potentially bringing her story back into the headlines as Democrats and Republicans fight over control of Congress." - New York Times
