To the outside world, Lisa Kaye Rayner seemed to have it all. But beneath the picture-perfect veneer of her Southern Baptist upbringing were the haunting secrets that she kept. Afterthree failed marriages and one failed suicide attempt, she found herself in the office of a psychiatrist who began to chip away at the portrait of perfection she so carefully painted.Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife is a heartfelt and harrowing memoir that reveals the unspoken costs of fitting in, along with the struggles that come with polishing our past, and a reminderthat the dust always settles in the end.

Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife is the intimate battle of a Southern Baptist Barbie who finds the courage to unlock her menagerie of carefully hidden secrets and unpack years of traumatic men-tal, physical, and sexual abuse I experienced while living an outwardly beautiful and glamorous life. With the help of my daughter, sister, and a myriad of fashionable friends, I claw my way through a hard-fought, inspiring journey of discovery, empowerment, freedom, self-love, and truth, one husband at a time. Or do I?
