Almost everyone has heard of Traci Lords, the underage "porn queen" who was busted by the FBI when she was in her teens after posing for numerous adult magazines and starring in a collection of pornographic videos. With her autobiographical story Underneath It All , Traci seeks to explain her life and ultimately come to terms with it herself. She recalls with unbelievable clarity specific situations, details and even conversations from as early as six years of age. It was this same boyfriend who got Traci her first job as a nude model, the beginning of her short but infamous career in pornography. Traci goes on to tell of her years in the adult industry starting when she was barely a teenager , her drug abuse and her relationships with older, abusive men. She also tells of the FBI bust that made her into the object of national gossip and her long struggle to rise above her "porn queen" reputation and heal her fractured life. It took years for Traci to come to grips with her past, beat her addictions and be at peace with herself, although the reader is left with some doubt that she has achieved this by the closing of the book. However, you will be left with a different impression of Traci than the jaded young porn star the media portrayed her as.
