Description:
Georgia Durante was "The Kodak Girl" in 1968, the most photographed model in the country. Her journey found its way into the world of The Mob. As in many aspects of her life, Georgia stood out from the rest in the world of the Wiseguys. She became a trusted driver in a part of society where only men played the game. Georgia’s time in The Mob also brought to her the man that stole her heart. He later became the man that wanted to take her life. He was abusive. He was controlling. He was darkness in a human form. He was her husband. The Company She Keeps illustrates how negatives can be turned into positives in our lives. Georgia turns her getaway driving skills into a lucrative Stunt Driving business in Hollywood.

Inspiring and captivating - Georgia Durante's book had me at the first word-- be prepared to go through the emotional roller coaster of a lifetime. How Georgia managed to not only survive but succeed is beyond me but her story is one that everyone-- men and women-- should read and remember. I carried the book with me everywhere until I finished it last night. You won't be able to put it down either!
I plan to buy a copy for each of my friends-- it's the perfect stocking stuffer!

The Company She Keeps - The Company She Keeps by author Georgia Durante is one of the most
fascinating books i have ever read. No work of fiction could ever top
the life this woman lived. Ms. Durante has held nothing back, all of the
highs and lows are here, she has laid bare her soul. I can't believe
this book has not been made into a movie. It would be one of those
movies that you would want to watch over and over to make sure you
have seen every detail, it would be just that fascinating. Any of
hollywood's leading ladies could turn this role into an oscar winning
performance. This is one book i will not be lending out, it is one of
those you want to read over and over.

Riveting - Georgia Durante's book "The Company She Keeps" is riveting. I could not put it down, I could not sleep because I wanted to get back to her story. I was proud of the warrior she is and I was sad when it was over because I will miss reading about her. I can not wait for her next book to come out.
She is truly an inspiration...to change your life...you can change your thinking.
Sincerely,

When is Hollywood going to make a movie based on this great book? - This is a book just itching to be made into an outstanding film. It's got all the elements of a film that people enjoy: action, drama, romance, danger, and IT'S TRUE! The new cover on The Company She Keeps is an eye-catcher and readers won't be disappointed when they read Georgia Durante's biography. The book captures the essence of life for a woman connected to an organized crime family. It spans a time period in Durante's life that goes from good times to bad times, from tragedy to triumph, and from fear to freedom of spirit.
Not just another biography like Nicholas Pileggi's Wiseguy, which became Martin Scorsese's Goodfellows, The Company She Keeps chronicles the spousal abuse which Durante endured while married to a member of the Family. How Durante coped and eventually left the Family life with her daughter is a chronicle that is all too common in cases of domestic violence and abuse.
Read this book and urge everyone you know to read it. Come on, Hollywood, when are you gonna get off the dime and put this on film???
