Book: Becoming Nicole

If you aren’t moved by “Becoming Nicole,” I’d suggest there’s a lump of dark matter where your heart should be. “To my beautiful daughter,” her father wrote on her Facebook page, in response to a despairing post that once again expressed her fear she’d wind up alone. “I worry about you every day, but I have seldom worried that you will be alone. You have never been alone. You are admired by so many. You are beautiful, amazingly smart, strong beyond your years and funny. I know that someday someone will take you away from me. I say someday because I am not ready for you to grow up.”
