“Not your typical Hollywood autobiography. Brutally honest, restless and questing.”
—O, The Oprah Magazine
Sharon Stone tells her own story: a journey of healing, love, and purpose.
Sharon
Stone, one of the most renowned actresses in the world, suffered a
massive stroke that cost her not only her health, but her career,
family, fortune, and global fame. In The Beauty of Living Twice,
Stone chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life and writes about her
slow road back to wholeness and health. In a business that doesn’t
accept failure, in a world where too many voices are silenced, Stone
found the power to return, the courage to speak up, and the will to make
a difference in the lives of men, women, and children around the globe.
Over
the course of these intimate pages, as candid as a personal
conversation, Stone talks about her pivotal roles, her life-changing
friendships, her worst disappointments, and her greatest
accomplishments. She reveals how she went from a childhood of trauma and
violence to a career in an industry that in many ways echoed those same
assaults, under cover of money and glamour. She describes the strength
and meaning she found in her children, and in her humanitarian efforts.
And ultimately, she shares how she fought her way back to find not only
her truth, but her family’s reconciliation and love.
Stone made
headlines not just for her beauty and her talent, but for her candor and
her refusal to “play nice,” and it’s those same qualities that make
this memoir so powerful. The Beauty of Living Twice is a book for
the wounded and a book for the survivors; it’s a celebration of women’s
strength and resilience, a reckoning, and a call to activism. It is
proof that it’s never too late to raise your voice and speak out.
