The real, untold, and unvarnished story of life inside the legendary Playboy Mansionand the man who holds the keyfrom the woman who was Hefs #1 girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door. A spontaneous decision at age twenty one transformed small town Oregon girl Holly Sue Cullen into Holly Madison, Hugh Hefners #1 girlfriend. But like Alice in Wonderland after she plunged down the rabbit hole, what seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansionincluding A list celebrity parties and her own #1 rated television showquickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies. Losing her identity, her sense of self worth, and her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide. But instead of ending her life, Holly chose to take charge of it. In this shockingly candid and surprisingly moving memoir, this thoughtful and introspective woman opens up about life inside the Mansion, the drugs, the sex and the infamous parties, as well as what her relationships with her Girls Next Door co stars, Bridget and Kendra were really like. Holly talks candidly about a subsequent abusive relationship, her own successful television series, and the hard work of healing, including her turn on Dancing with the Stars. A cautionary tale and a celebration of personal empowerment, Down the Rabbit Hole reminds us of the importance of fighting for our dreamsand finding the life we deserve.

    Reading this was a real eye opener. Me and my sister's had been big fans of the girls next door series and idolized the three of heffs girlfriends. We thought heff was a sweet old man. Turns out we bought exactly what they were selling and nothing was farther from the

    I have to confess that The Girls Next Door, which shot Holly Madison into the spotlight, was a huge guilty pleasure of mine and I was an avid viewer to see what antics Hugh Hefner's girlfriends got up to each week. In her autobiography, Holly reveals what life was really
