Door to Door

This captivating, fictionalised memoir tells the story of a young woman desperately trying to escape her painful past in order to chase down her dreams.

DOOR TO DOOR is a memoir (of sorts) from a small town girl turned Hollywood socialite by way of New York City. In her hometown of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Tobi learns the fine arts of window shopping and buying groceries on credit as her mother struggles to support the family. By the time high school rolls around, Tobi has had enough of the Midwest and enters a modelling contest where the winner gets a trip to New York. As the runner-up, Tobi is selected for an Elite portfolio and the chance to model in the big city. When New York doesn''t live up to her expectations, Tobi sets out for Los Angeles to pursue acting. When she gets to L.A., Tobi finds her way to the fringes of the Hollywood elite. She goes bar-hopping and producer-hunting on the weekends, looking for a way in to the industry. Though her acting career never gets off the ground, Tobi has a chance encounter with an old friend from New York and is offered a job working the door at his new club. Desperate for a way to stay in Los Angeles, she takes the job and quickly builds a reputation for herself and the club. For six years, Tobi works the Door in Hollywood clubs, learning how to pick the crowd, play the crowd and above all, how to ''perfect the lie''. After a while, she begins to doubt whether there is any ''Tobi'' behind the self that she''s invented. Full of the emotional ups and downs that come with living the high life in Hollywood, DOOR TO DOOR proves that, as Tobi says, ''you can open many doors in your life, but it''s the ones that you shut which will make the difference.''
