The Road Through Wonderland
The Road Through Wonderland: Surviving John Holmes | Dawn Schiller
4 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
Painstakingly honest, this chilling memoir reveals how a teenager became immersed in the bizarre life of legendary porn star John Holmes. Starting with a childhood that molded her perfectly to fall for the seduction of Òthe king of porn,Ó this autobiography recounts the perilous road that Dawn Schiller traveledÑfrom drugs and addiction to beatings, arrests, forced prostitution, and being sold to the drug underworld. After living through the horrific Wonderland murders of 1981, she entered protective custody, ran from the FBI, and turned in John Holmes to the police. This is the true story of a young girlÕs harrowing escape from one of the most infamous public figures, her struggle to survive, and her recovery from unthinkable abuse.

After I finished this book I had the biggest book hangover. Still can't get it out of my mind years later! I bought a copy for my stepdaughter so I could have someone to talk to about it. It blew her away also. I emailed the author and she answered me back! What a thrill that was!!

Nebklvr How cool! Not only the author bit, but that you could actually get a family member to read a recommended book 7y
tapgurl Seriously! I sent it to her through her kindle and it took her a long time to read it but she called me when she was done! She is a huge reader which is awesome! Husband only reads on planes and then it's a military type book:/. 7y

I really enjoyed this book. I am too young to have ever really known much at all about John Holmes (not that I know much about any porn star lol), so this was really interesting. What a harrowing life this girl led. A really interesting read!
