There’s nothing the liberal media love to attack more than a conservative celebrity. Unless it’s a female conservative celebrity. Make that a beautiful female conservative celebrity.

So, when a California beauty queen had the audacity – the nerve – to stand up for traditional marriage in front of a national televised audience, well then, the liberal media went crazy. They called her every vile name in the book – while feminists around the country were oddly silent. Like Sarah Palin, Laura Bush, Ann Coulter and so many before her, Carrie Prejean was vilified for not being the modern American woman that NOW had in mind.

But through it all, Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, maintained her composure, courage, faith—and stood her ground. Not many 22-year-old women find themselves thrust into the national spotlight. Fewer still are willing to stand up for what they believe, even when it costs them a national title and subjects them to vicious personal attacks.

In her new book, Still Standing, Carrie gives readers the inside story, and the clear message that conservative women are here to stay. From the pageant’s political and manipulative tactics, to Carrie’s fight against unfair attacks from Hollywood and the media, and her never-before-published conversations with Donald Trump and Sarah Palin, Carrie reveals the story the media didn’t report but America wants to hear. Carrie has a message for Hollywood and the mainstream media – but she also has a message for young women everywhere. Still Standing exposes the media’s hypocritical practice of “free speech for me but not for thee” and shatters the myth that a woman can’t be influential and Conservative.

Carrie Prejean has already been a media sensation. Still Standing proves that she’s more than just a pretty face – she’s a strong woman of admirable religious, political, and moral substance, and she’s one of the leaders in a new movement championing conservative women everywhere.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Carrie Prejean had no idea, when she walked down the stage to face her final question before the selection and crowning of Miss USA, that her hopes, dreams, and reputation were about to come crashing down around her under a torrent of media attacks.

Her crime? To have answered honestly that for her—and for most Americans—marriage is defined as a sacred bond between one man and one woman. For the thought crime of saying this, Carrie Prejean went from being the likely winner of the Miss USA competition to being the certain loser. But worse, she would be subjected to a campaign of vilification, verbal abuse, and betrayal that did not even end with her being stripped of her title of Miss California.

Here at last is Carrie's own story—the full story—about what actually happened. In Still Standing, you'll learn:

The behind-the-scenes truth of how and why Carrie's own pageant directors joined forces with the vicious smear campaign against her
The intimidation that kept many of Carrie's supporters quiet
How Donald Trump defended her—only to back down under pressure from the pageant directors
Why liberals target conservative women for special persecution
How political correctness is becoming a clear and present danger to free speech

Carrie Prejean endured the hellish nightmare that the liberal media can inflict on anyone who disagrees with their agenda, but her faith, courage, and conviction have made her a role model for how we can stare down the bullies of political correctness and reclaim our God-given rights to freedom of speech, thought, and conscience.

From the Back Cover

Praise for Still Standing
It took a twenty-two-year old beauty queen to remind America that there s still such a thing as free speech and that we don t have to kowtow to political correctness. That makes Carrie Prejean more than a beauty queen—it makes her a heroine. - Rush Limbaugh
No one can incite the rage of liberals like a sexy Evangelical Christian, and Carrie Prejean is the smoking hottest Evangelical of them all. Facing a frenzy of attacks from liberals for preferring classic marriage to new marriage in her answer at a beauty pageant, Prejean proved that there is no rock like the rock of Christianity. Carrie s admiration for marriage—and her lovely backbone—triggered the liberals well-known fight or flight syndrome. In this book, Still Standing, Carrie tells all. - Ann Coulter

It was very interesting reading Carrie's side of what happened after she delivered her famous answer that she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman. She convinced me that there was a lot more to the story than we heard in the media as she painstakingly laid out what happened leading up to the Miss USA pageant and what happened afterward. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, Carrie's book proves the adage that "there are two sides to every story."

Fairly good read.

Pretty good book. I had wanted to get her side of things, and now I have just that. It is too bad that her past has come to light in such a manner. Unfortunately, the people who don't understand religion and salvation just don't understand how you can do things in your past that may not be right or ungodly. When we are saved God forgives us of our sins, and it is only those who would like evil in our lives that will throw it all back up in our face. The moral of this book: Be prepared to be smeared if you are conservative and in the public eye.

Inspiring Read

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2011

While I agree with some other reviewers that this is not the best written book I have ever read, the story contained in its pages is truly inspirational. As a pageant participant myself, I was truly shocked at the treatment of Prejean by her own directors (not to mention others in the media, etc). Thankfully my pageant experience has been nothing like hers -- but it forced me to think. Her deep commitment to who she is has made me re-examine my own convictions. This was a quick read (I finished it in one day off), and I'm thankful for every minute of it.

Courage at its best!

This book tells the of struggles of a young woman against the powers of the media and the politically correctness of our day. Carrie was brave and never backed down on her beliefs or her value system. She is an excellent role model for other young women of today. Her advise at the end of her book gives other young women things to aspire for as they grow and develop into adulthood. I salute Carrie, and I'm glad she is "Still Standing."
What Satan meant for bad, God used for good.

This is just my opinion.

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2012

Since I am from California, I paid a bit more attention to the USA beauty pageant when the
controversy arose, hearing on television that Carrie Prejean was a representative of my State
that I live in.
I found this book to be truthful and honest about the events that occurred, from the point of the author,
compared to what I was told to believe by the media. Also, what is wrong with stating your belief?
Since when in the United States of America or anyplace in California must you be politically
correct in every issue or afraid to offend people in any possible way? Although I'm picky when it comes to misspelled
words, I didn't have an issue with that in this book. Although there may have been a few, they
were few and far between. The important thing about the book is that it was very well written
and surprisingly a lot of the points she made would be hard to refute or take a stand against
the way she explained them, along with her beliefs. She isn't forcing her beliefs on anyone. She
is even understanding of what others believe in, although she disagrees in a polite way.
Whatever mistakes she has made before or after this book came out, it should not take away
from the enjoyment of this particular book, if you are an avid reader or enjoy reading biographies
or autobiographies. If you collect biographies or autobiographies, I would recommend adding this book
to your collection as well.
She stood up for herself in front of a pageant that was full of people that disagreed with her. Whether
you believe in her views or not, that takes courage. It will certainly be a disheartening day in California
or anywhere in the United States of America or even the world, when you are afraid of saying something for
fear of being belittled by either a minority or majority opinion. I even see this as an extension of everyday life,
where you are afraid to voice an opinion on anything for fear of being ridiculed.
I have to wonder whether the people posting on here purchased the book, looked through it in a bookstore, just looked at the cover,
or even read it. It seems a lot
of them have political views that are so strong in either direction, that they are either for or against the book
even before they read it, or have not bothered to read it.
Please read it and try to keep an open mind. As she mentions in the book, a lot of soldiers fought for our right to free speech, and
if we are afraid to even say anything a tad bit controversial, than what is the point other than to live in a dull country where everyone
agrees with each other and we don't even know what to say or do anymore. The expression of free thought limits our creativity
and will doom us. I just request that you at least read the book to get a sense of what she went through before passing criticism upon her.
That is my take on the subject.
