Aviva Drescher, the REAL Housewife of New York City, born and bred in Manhattan, shares her REAL story in this tell-all memoir.She's blond, beautiful, and brazenly honest - one of the boldest cast members of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City and most talked-about stars of reality TV. From the moment Aviva Drescher stepped her prosthetic leg into the spotlight, she sparked controversy and ratings. Now, for the first time, the native New Yorker stands on her own two feet to speak out on her fascinating life. With true courage, Aviva tells the story of how she lost her foot in a barn accident at the age of six and the numerous - sometimes bizarre - attempts to reattach it. After a trip to India to be "cured" by a famous mystic, young Aviva learned to use fashion and style to draw attention away from her prosthesis.
