Not Every Picture Tells The Story

Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife is an awe-inspiring epic tale of a Southern Baptist Barbie that makes Greek mythology seem like child’s play—its the perfect book for any woman who’s ever had to keep a secret.

Growing up in a society that puts beauty and perfection on a pedestal, Rayner’s memoir exposes the darkness of past trials and tribulations that ultimately betray her seemingly flawless facade and unravels her picture perfect existence, one husband at a time.

So pour yourself a glass of champagne, sit back, and get lost in this truly captivating story.

Lisa K. Rayner Featured on Business RadioX


Author Lisa K. Rayner recently sat down with Business RadioX during the Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife book launch event at the Johnson Lowe Gallery in Buckhead.

In a heartfelt and unfiltered conversation, Lisa shared the inspiration behind her deeply personal memoir—a bold, raw account of survival, identity, and reclaiming power after enduring years of abuse in silence.

While the title might suggest a playful tale, Lisa revealed the emotional weight behind her story, exploring taboo topics like gender roles, trauma, and resilience as a Southern Baptist woman. With candor and strength, she spoke about the decade-long journey of writing the book, the healing and heartache that came with reliving painful memories, and her hope that her story empowers other women to come forward and say, “me too.”
