Cheryl Diamond

Cheryl Diamond was born on the run.

​

By the age of nine she had lived in more than a dozen countries, on five continents, under six assumed identities. She was home-schooled by her parents who were evading Interpol and various other law enforcement agencies.

​

      At sixteen, Cheryl was scouted by a modeling agency and arrived in New York City with nothing but $300, her cat, and a fair bit of life experience. Between shoots and castings, she began to write. Model A Memoir, a behind the scenes account of her life as a young high fashion model,  was published by Simon & Schuster five years later. The book was featured by The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Good Morning America, and Fox News Live.

​

      Her second book, Naked Rome, tells the story of the Eternal City through the eyes of its' most fascinating people, and was published in 2019.

​

      Cheryl's newest project, Nowhere Girl, the shocking true story of her outlaw childhood, was published in 2021 and became an international best-seller. She lives in Rome and obeys the law- most of the time.
