She made that happen through determination and serendipity; a chance meeting with a '70s Southern California Rock Star opened the A-list Hollywood doors to a wondrous world, as well as a full-blown romance.Pounding the pavement in L.A. and New York taught her the hard knocks ofbeing a working class model. Fortitude and sheer will jetted her off to Europe,and where she met the doomed love her life; fiancé Steve Clark of Def Leppard.Theirs was a relationship mired in dizzying highs and bottomless lows, as shewatched Steve drink and drug himself to death, and caught herself in the wakeof his spiraling cycle of addiction and depression, unable to help.Ultimately fleeing and finding the strength to save herself, Lorelei shares hercandid and blatant truth of how she survived the greatest loss in her life, theaftermath and the determination to not only survive, but to heal her-self, andhelp to heal others.Runway Runaway is highlighted by never-before-seen photos of the music and fashion industries, hand written journal entries, agenda pages, and backstage passes illustrating the story of neglected child turned teenage runaway who follows her dreams to become an international model, eventually finding herself in the process.
