I had been living my life and doing just fine. Anna's presence in my world had occurred suddenly and quickly expanded. Her influence spread undetected.

Introduction

Vanity Fair photography editor Rachel DeLoache Williams never considered herself gullible; she was cautious with new acquaintances and a decent judge of character.

When Williams met wealthy German heiress Anna Delvey through mutual friends, the pair developed a friendship.

Within months, Delvey owed Williams more than $60,000; she wasn't an heiress at all, but a con artist whose real name was Anna Sorokin.

In My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress, Williams gives a detailed and fascinating glimpse into the mind of a fraudster.

Through mapping Delvey's rise and fall, Williams describes how it felt to be one of her targets: the broken trust, the inability to heal, and how it could happen to anyone.
