The Rise and Fall of an American Sheika
Gucci to Goodwill follows the rise and fall of an American Sheika from a simple upbringing in the Pacific Northwest to the tumultuous and scandalous lifestyle of the Middle East.
A life of fashion, jet setting and life at the top are threatened with an enemy in the bedroom. Life choices have to be weighed between raising children on the right path of life or succumbing to the greed of illegal gains.
A whirlwind story of danger, politics, and drama interlaced with the meaning of family and morals while deciphering what matters most.
About
Born on Christmas Day, to the name of Vallentyne, under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Dragon, Debra always knew that her destiny would be filled with fame and fantasy. Growing up in Seattle under the dark gray skies may have given her a sense of grounding, but she yearned for the footlights and a world of fashion. Discovering the glamorous cities of Paris, Milan and Beirut, she finally settled in California. Three sets of twin girls and a son along with a best friend and sister Shannon complete a very big circle of love. She entertains frequently, visits all the best thrift shops, and enjoys music from baroque chamber to the sounds of 1970s rock and roll. Curious and positive, she now wants to share her adventures, obstacles, and life's lessons with the world. She is currently living between Beaver Creek, Colorado, and San Juan Capistrano, California, finding happiness with her husband Chris.
