Sharon Stone opens her memoir in a hospital bed, mid-brain bleed, using that near-death moment as a springboard into the jagged arc of her life. From a difficult upbringing in small-town Pennsylvania to breaking into modelling and then film, she charts her rise through an unforgiving industry and the explosive fame that followed her most iconic roles. At the height of her career, a massive stroke nearly killed her, leaving her to relearn how to walk and talk, while she lost her marriage, custody battles, professional momentum and much of her fortune. The memoir follows her long road back to health and purpose, and her transformation into an outspoken advocate for stroke survivors, women's rights and humanitarian causes. Stone writes with fearless honesty and dark humour, reflecting candidly on the entertainment industry's treatment of women, on motherhood, grief, and the resilience she found in her children and in activism. The result is a searching account of rebuilding a life after everything is taken away, praised for its blend of glamour, grit and dark comedy, and widely regarded as one of the most compelling celebrity memoirs of recent years.. Written entirely by Sharon Stone in her own candid, distinctive voice. A New York Times bestselling memoir praised for its honesty and humour. Brand new hardback edition, ideal as a durable keepsake or gift. Appeals to fans of classic cinema,
