Through the Shattered Glass
Through the Shattered Glass | Jeanie Clarke
1 post | 1 read
It began as the classic rags to riches story of a girl who escaped a life of misery to attain accidental fame and fortune in the United States. But what happened to the girl when the American dream became a living nightmare? Jeanie Clarke, who shot to wrestling stardom as Lady Blossom, reveals all in this frank account of her individual rise, fall and retribution, and struggles to sustain a family with a husband who was driven to become the greatest wrestling star the world had ever known. For years, she suffered in silence to survive personal tragedy, the pressures of fame, and drug addiction: a self-destructive lifestyle that spiralled out of control. This uncompromising autobiography exposes the dark nature of the substance abuse culture which gripped the entertainment industry, examining the consequences to a broken family that it created. It is a detailed account of her highs and lows during a lifetime in the wrestling business, and the ultimate cost it had on those around her. This is a story of personal survival that remained unknown... until now.

MicheleinPhilly What the... 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! Must have put an ice cold drink in a glass fresh out of the dishwasher or something! Glad they replaced your food though, who knows where all that glass might have flown 6y
knittedgnome Yikes!! Glad they took care of you! 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto @MicheleinPhilly I used to work for Texas Roadhouse and I've seen this happen more times than I can count. My guess is the glass was already damaged and then someone put a cold drink in it while it was still hot. I've been holding them while they explode more than once. Terrifying. 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto I can't believe it even made it to your table before exploding. It usually happens almost instantly. This is bananas. 6y
Debiw781 @Ashley_Nicoletto @Riveted_Reader_Melissa the tea in the glass was rather warm and they said the glass should have been cold- it definitely wasn‘t when it reached me. It definitely scared me when it happened! 6y
MicheleinPhilly @Ashley_Nicoletto I sprayed cold water into a hot glass casserole dish when I was in college. I‘ve NEVER made that mistake again. I almost peed my pants. 6y
Lreads I‘m so glad you‘re ok! That would scare me, too! 😨 6y
