Filled with stunning revelations, here is the sensational memoir of one of Hollywood's most talented and troubled stars-an inspirational true tale of survival and triumph against all odds



Though she has shunned the media spotlight, Academy Award-winning actress Tatum O'Neal at last goes on the record to tell her story-a tale of personal turmoil and ultimate triumph that is part Hollywood tell-all, part Greek tragedy, and part Shakespearean drama.


In her trademark no-holds-barred style, she names names as she chronicles the ups and downs of being Hollywood royalty, including


. her nearly fatal addiction to drugs


. her destructive relationships with mother, the late actress Joanna Moore; her famously overbearing and flamboyant father, Ryan O'Neal and his former longtime live-in love, Farrah Fawcett; and her wildly explosive ex-husband, international tennis pro John McEnroe


. her early years-a time of tubulence, loneliness, and abuse-as a virtual orphan forced to raise herself and her “Irish twin,” younger brother, Griffin


. her explosive, untold stories of the top figures in pop culture and sports


Ultimately, we see the emergence of an extremely gifted, spirited, and intelligent woman-the ultimate survivor who is a role model to all women.

I read this book cover to cover over a weekend. Although it was one of those books for me that I would only read once, I did enjoy it. Tatum O'Neil doesnt hold back in describing her life as it was, and after reading it I felt more of an understanding of her. If you are a fan of her work, its worth a read to get to know the person behind the stories the press puts out.

I feel sorry for Tatum O'Neil. Not because of what she has "been through", but the fact that she thinks the world owes her something because of it. O'Neil wears her victimhood on her sleeve, and bitches and whines the whole way through. Depressing, and overdramatised. I did not like this one at all.
