Shailey Tripp's book "Boys Wil Be Boys" is now available for purchase! Update!

As many of you have already noted, Shailey's book is now available for purchase here.

Shailey was kind enough to send me an advanced copy and I have been carefully reading through it for the past few days.

I cannot say that it will ever make the New York Times Bestsellers list, but I have to admit that it may be one of the bravest, most honest, most vulnerable accounts of a troubled women's desperate choices to care for her family that I have ever read.

In many ways Shailey's book is the exact opposite of Sarah Palin's carefully crafted mythology that showed up on the pages of  "Going Rogue."

Shailey does not shy away from the difficult choices that she felt she had to make, the bad people she let into her life, or the hurt that she has caused those who tried to love her.

And besides where else can you read scintillating details about the predatory nature of the "First Dude" such as this?

To escape reality, I zoned out and forced myself to think about things like grocery shopping, errands I needed to run, and calls I had to return. I just mentally removed myself from being at that place, in that situation, and with that person. I occupied my mind with mundane thoughts of everyday life. Believe me, I got no pleasure from the sexual act I entered into with the governor’s husband. 

As soon as he finished Todd acted as if nothing had happened. He asked for a wet washcloth with which to clean himself. I got it for him. When he got through, he tied a knot in the used condom, wrapped it in the washcloth and stuffed everything in one of his coat pockets. As he was going out the door, he said he would be in touch with me. In hindsight, I believe he was formulating plans for my future even as he zipped himself up that day. If I had known then what I know now, I would have avoided further contact with him like the plague.Instead, I was drawn deeper and deeper into what I came to realize too late was a path leading to my own destruction. Todd Palin was not the soft - spoken nice guy, friend of Bonnie, client of Shailey Tripp that he presented to the world. The reality was on the other side of my massage room door, he was a predator, and I was in his crosshairs.

And that is only the beginning, like I said there is nothing off limits in this book.

So if you interested in reading what even Joe McGinniss and the National Enquirer were too hesitant to write about, then this is the book for you.

Update: It looks like Wonkette is on the case as well.
