Fantastic story of one young woman's rise to stardom, but of also losing faith and self-confidence.

Heartache of a marriage failed.

But the confidence and love of a son that helped to pull her through the toughest of times.

Bertinelli, just a few months younger than myself, married at an early age. She and her spouse did basically the same as my own story of young marriage... they grew up and apart. Each defining their own goals for life, and finding that although there was strong feelings for one another, it wasn't enough.

To fill a void, Bertinelli turned to food for comfort and solace.

This is a journey about finding an alternative to fill the void. To finding one's self. And loving one's self, and one's self-image.

Bertinelli gives us her journey in a candid, no holds barred, manner.

And she tells us what has worked for her.

I give this book...

...five stars and my...

...thumbs up award!
