| Summary: | Carrie Prejean had no idea, when she walked down the stage to face her final question before the selection and crowning of Miss USA, that her hopes, dreams and reputation were about to come crashing down around her under a torrent of media attacks. Her crime? To have answered honestly that for her--and for most Americans--marriage is defined as a sacred bond between one man and one woman. For the thought crime of saying this, Carrie Prejean went from being the likely winner of the Miss USA competition to being the certain loser. She would be subjected to a campaign of vilification, verbal abuse and betrayal that did not even end with her being stripped of her title of Miss California. Here at last is Carrie's own story--the full story--about what actually happened. |
