Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Bright blue paper covered boards with a blue cloth spine. Boards and dust jacket in very good condition. Lots of black and white photo illustrations. Signed by Patricia Neal on the title page. Dust jacket price clipped. Patricia Neal's story is the stuff that legends have been made of: The American Mother Courage with the rich molasses voice and her smoldering eyes who has been through it all and beaten the odds to become the fiery inspiration for living life to its fullest. From a triumphant career as a Tony and Academy Award-winning actress, she has faced devasting challenges and losses sometimes privately, sometimes before an audience of millions: a notorious and passionate long running love affair with Gary Cooper, the brain damaging injury of her young son. Then followed with tragic speed by the death of her little daughter, Olivia, a crushing series of three near fatal strokes and a miraculous recovery that made headlines around the world; and then as the world continued listening to fairy-tale stories of her marriage to writer Roald Dahl, the wrenching and fruitless battle to keep her husband. It was only at that point, when she believed she had lost everything, that she began to write and in the process, to face her greatest challenge yet,to remember it all; to take stock and make sense of the turblulent events of her life, a life full of unimaginable heartache and joy. It was a five year struggle, which she confronted charateristacally with heroic strength, anger, and humor ---a process of head on confrontation with the ghosts and demons from her past and present. Once again she has emerged victorious, with As I Am, one of the most stunning autobiographies you will ever read. Hope you will enjoy Patricial's book. Signed by Author(s).…
