Charity Gaye Finnestad spent her childhood as a rolling stone, thanks to her dad’s severe case of grass-is-greener syndrome. She finally ended up in the tiny hamlet of Sisters, Oregon, where she discovered that just because a town doesn’t possess a stoplight, that doesn’t mean it’s not chock-full of rules for fitting in. She didn’t. So she made the regrettable deal with her parents that if they would let her graduate early at age sixteen and split town, she would go to a religious college in-state. That’s how Charity ended up graduating summa cum laude from Eugene Bible College (now New Hope Christian College) with a degree in religion and education. Rumor has it that she was the only non-Birkenstock sporting chick in all of greater Eugene at that time. One day, this small town girl woke up the realization that she had big dreams that could only be fulfilled in one place. With that in mind, she packed her bags and hit the road for Tinsel Town. Arriving with a pocket full of dreams, an empty bank account, and a delusional belief in her own great worth to the illustrious city, Charity dove into the shark tank and tried not to drown. Realizing no one was going to pay her to write until she proved she had an audience, Charity created a blog called “Hollywood in Heels.” In it she dished on her misadventures while dating in LA. The blog was an instant hit, propelling her from the return to sender pile to the hallowed sanctuary of entertainment power. Her first book HOLLYWOOD IN HEELS, was released by Skyhorse Publishing in September 2013 and subsequently optioned by eOne to develop into a show.
