Stormy Daniels book summary: Adult film star gives Full Disclosure on alleged Trump affair

She talks also about another sexual assault: a high-school ex-boyfriend who grabbed her at school and a fight ensued. Her mother was brought into school to hear that they would both be punished, Stormy says, which prompted a furious response: "You just taught my daughter that it's okay to be sexually assaulted".

She goes on to say that she actually blamed her mother for that, for having not intervened before when she was being abused.

Later the school friend who was abused at the same time would tell a counsellor at school. And Stormy would be called into his office, and asked whether it was true: she said yes, and that he'd done the same to her. He said that couldn't be true because she was fine, when her friend wasn't.

She says she didn't even want to share this story in the book because it would play into the idea that "women involved in the adult entertainment business are all 'damaged'". She had kept it bottled up until the past June, she said — it only came back to her when she returned to her childhood home for a profile.

[Skipping through again, past a whole series of stories about horses. Again, if this is interesting to you then do feel free to buy the book, but I'm just going to pass over this for now.]

[Another little aside note: Stormy's style is probably actually the best of these books I've read live on the internet. No Wolffian dramatics, no Comeyesque high-mindedness; it's all just very frank and occasionally a little fun. Her mother breaks up with her partner: "I know, right? We were pulling for those two kids, weren't we?" she jokes.]

Stormy's telling the story of the first time she entered a strip club. (Although she's keen to stress this wasn't really up to the name — she describes it as a "titty bar".) 

When she got there, the dancers started fussing over her, and encouraged her to do a guest set. She did, and it went well. So she started doing it regularly.

Stormy is talking about her breast implants. "I am a firm believer in capitalism. And I noticed that the girls at the Gold Club who invested in breast implants got more tips." So she went to a doctor who looked at her chest, grunted at her, and agreed to do the procedure; he also made them much larger than she'd expected. She wanted to sue him but didn't in the end.

"Now I've gone on to win many Best Breasts trophies," she writes. "And every time I accept one of those, I thank him by name. Best twenty-two hundred dollars I ever spent.

"I also named my breasts because I love them so much. Thunder and Lightning. I've had the same implants since 1999 — they're almost old enough to drink."

Here comes a long aside about going on tour with Pantera. Stormy hung out with the band for a few weeks on the road and fell in love with touring, she says.

And now onto Stormy's first time making pornography. She had made all the money she could in stripping, she says, and a friend was flying to LA to try and make it in films.

Right off the plane, she says, she was "booked to do an all-girl sex scene for Makin' It, a film for Wicket Pictures". She says that the experience put her off pornography, realising how artificial the entire thing is. And she describes at length the things she and her co-stars did for that film, which I'll leave you to Google if you so wish and leave out the pages of this family newspaper.

Stormy tells the story of getting into writing adult films — something she does until this day. Her boyfriend and co-star had suggested she could never do it, so she did, and he loved it. She's been doing it ever since.

That eventually turned into directing, too. And she was a success at that as well.

And now we're into Stormy's entry into "mainstream" (that is, non-pornographic) films. She tells the story of auditioning for The 40-year-old Virgin. That, and she, were such a success that she would star in other Judd Apatow films, including Knocked Up.
