Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and Political Attacks

by Carrie Prejean

Overview

When a California beauty queen had the audacity – the nerve – to stand up for traditional marriage in front of a national televised audience, well then, the liberal media went crazy. They called her every vile name in the book – while feminists around the country were oddly silent. Like Sarah Palin, Laura Bush, Ann Coulter and so many before her, Carrie Prejean was vilified for not being the modern American woman that NOW had in mind. But through it all, Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, maintained her composure, courage, faith—and stood her ground.

About the Author

Caroline Michelle "Carrie" Prejean Boller is an American model, author, former Miss California USA 2009 and Miss USA 2009 first runner-up. Prejean received national attention in 2009 through a series of events that occurred after pageant judge and gossip blogger Perez Hilton used his final question in the Miss USA pageant to ask Prejean about same-sex marriage laws in the United States, and used his popular gossip blog to publicize her response.

What People are Saying About This

Rush Limbaugh

"It took a twenty-two-year old beauty queen to remind America that there's still such a thing as free speech and that we don't have to kowtow to political correctness. That makes Carrie Prejean more than a beauty queen-it makes her a heroine."

Ann Coulter

"No one can incite the rage of liberals like a sexy Evangelical Christian, and Carrie Prejean is the smoking hottest Evangelical of them all. Facing a frenzy of attacks from liberals for preferring 'classic marriage' to 'new marriage' in her answer at a beauty pageant, Prejean proved that there is no rock like the rock of Christianity. Carrie's admiration for marriage-and her lovely backbone-triggered the liberals' well-known 'fight or flight' syndrome. In this book, Still Standing, Carrie tells all."
