Story of My Life
Story of My Life, a book whose cocaine-taking main character was inspired by Rielle Hunter, was originally published in 1988. McInerney formerly dated Hunter, who later worked for John Edwards' campaign. In August 2008, after Edwards admitted to having had an affair with Hunter, interest in Story of My Life resurged, and publisher Vintage Books printed extra copies to meet the demand.Baltimore Sun: Edwards' Mistress Was Basis for '80s Book Character (August 12, 2008) -
