The instant New York Times bestseller from the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder shares how saying YES changed her life. “As fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” (Los Angeles Times).
She’s
the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and
audacious shows on television today. Her iconic characters live boldly
and speak their minds. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an
introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews?
With
three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for
Shonda to say she was simply too busy. But in truth, she was also
afraid. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered
something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: You never say yes to anything. Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her.
This poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir explores Shonda’s life before
her Year of Yes—from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion
to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around
her. The book chronicles her life after her Year of Yes had
begun—when Shonda forced herself out of the house and onto the stage;
when she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self.
Yes.
“Honest, raw, and revelatory” (The Washington Post),
this wildly candid and compulsively readable book reveals how the mega
talented Shonda Rhimes finally achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland
character. Best of all, she “can help motivate even the most determined
homebody to get out and try something new” (Chicago Tribune).
