Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em></p><p><em>"Charlotte Laws is a woman of a thousand faces." S�bado magazine</em></p><p><em>"I didn't realize quite how brave Charlotte is until I see her in action." The Guardian</em></p><p><em>"Charlotte Laws is a tsunami." Snatch Magazine</em></p><p><em>"She is such an amazing and inspiring woman." Buzzfeed</em></p><p><em>"Undercover Debutante is witty, illuminating, engaging, unguarded, and gorgeously written. In a word: triumphant." </em><em>Every Way Woman Show</em></p><p><em>"Charlotte Laws is a champion of the underdog." New York Post</em></p><p><em>"Unbelievable! That's what most people thought when Charlotte revealed the exploits and escape plans she hatched underneath the serene surface of buttoned-up Atlanta in the 70's and 80's. We shared our teen years inside 'the body bag' of Atlanta society, as she describes it in her new book, living across the street from one another on a quiet, manicured and muggy Atlanta street. Back then I knew that all this had to end up in a book one day. I'm so glad it finally did. Readers will be, too." Chris McGinnis, columnist for SF Chronicle / SF Gate</em></p><p><em>"This book is an incredible testament to the power of persistence. Charlotte Laws blasts through naysayers and self-doubt and is an inspiration to us all." Mandy Stadtmiller, Daily Beast columnist and bestselling author of Unwifeable</em></p><p><em>"Charlotte Laws reveals her success is all down to her fearless attitude and gusto." Daily Mail</em></p><p><em>"Undercover Debutante is a fascinating trip through Charlotte Laws' unorthodox, yet fascinating, life. Dr. Laws has the mind of a CIA operative. She can make a missile out of sticks." Dr. Bruce Goldberg, bestselling author of Exploring the Fifth Dimension</em></p><p><em>"Charlotte Laws is the kind of woman you'd always want on your side." Vox</em></p><p><em>"My Goodness, she does a lot!" L.A. Talk Radio</em></p><p><em>"In Undercover Debutante, Charlotte Laws rebounds from abandonment and family put-downs to earn the respect of presidents and A-list celebrities. This beautifully written story teaches you how to see around the obstacles in your own life. It will have you laughing out loud while at the same time dabbing a tear from your eye. Enjoy this rollicking ride with a most daring woman at the helm." Ken Lawrence, novelist and former Publisher of the Association of Corporate Counsel, Government Institutes, and Bernan Press.</em></p><p><em>"Undercover Debutante is a funny, probing, masterful memoir that gives a big shout out to fearlessness and what's important in life: helping animals and humans in need. The book is more than a dose of honesty and emotional resonance. It includes the author's outlandish escapades. No adventure is off-limits from schmoozing with President Reagan to visiting a sadomasochistic dungeon and working at a dingy strip club. Don't miss the roller coaster ride of Undercover Debutante." Pamelyn Ferdin, actress and animal activist</em>.</p><p><em>"Dr. Laws must have lived several lives in order to have fitted in the huge amount that she has." Daily Mail</em></p><p><em>"When Charlotte gets something in mind, nothing can stop her." Stylist Magazine</em></p><p><em>"Charlotte Laws is a really cool lady. A kick-ass lady." The Jim Christina Show</em></p><p> </p><br>
