The Company She Keeps

A female Goodfellas—the true story of a supermodel turned getaway driver for the mob. All-American beauty Georgia Durante was one of the most photographed models in the country when she married mobster Joe Lamendola. It plunged her into a world she never dreamed of—and one she feared she’d never survive—as a getaway driver for the mafia and an eyewitness to unspeakable violence, brutality, and murder, as she came to understand the terrifying risk of being married to the mob. In this raw and gripping memoir, Durante guides readers through her moving journey from her unstable teen years to marriage, motherhood, and her escape from an abusive partner—and finally to her successful career as a commercial stunt driver.
