Grace Will Lead Me Home By Robin Givens

You may remember Robin Givens for her various acting roles over the years, or as the glamorous former wife of Mike Tyson, who was vilified by the press during their ugly divorce. But forget what you've read in the papers. Now, get the truth about actress Robin Givens' tumultuous life.

In her new poignant, highly personal memoir, Givens shares her initial feelings of love and security with Tyson, then yanks back the curtain to reveal the dark side-the beatings, chronic threats and emotional abuse.

In an excerpt, Givens reveals, "I was awoken by a drunken Tyson who climbed on top of me...and grabbed me by my throat."

"He pinned my hands above my head . . . He pulled my pajama pants down . . . I begged him to stop as he undid his pants and began to shove himself in me," she says as she describes how Tyson allegedly raped her.

Only years later has Robin Givens finally found the strength, salvation and peace she's always craved in the bond she shares with her two young sons. It's a bracingly honest and ultimately inspiring account of Givens' life, career and the volatile marriage that made headlines.
