of Vogue's Best Books to Read in 2021 One of O Magazine's 55 Most
Anticipated Books of 2021 One of Marie Claire's 25 Best 2021
Memoirs to Pre-Order Now 'Electrifying.' The Sunday Times 'A
glorious, rogue, raw account ... It is funny; it is shocking; it is
good.' The Times 'Dangerous, alluring and misunderstood: Sharon
Stone remains one of our best ever movie stars ... Her new book
serves as a spectacular reminder of the outrageous fun of her
Nineties fame and why she is more than due for contemporary
respect.' Independent 'Brawler, hillbilly, misfit, thief - the
actress's memoir of her hardscrabble life, The Beauty of Living
Twice, is a feast of yarns and jokes.' Daily Telegraph 'While [The
Beauty of Living Twice] contains some startling personal
revelations, equally affecting is Stone's warmth and grace,
qualities that, by the end, feel quite miraculous . . . Writing
with zeal and urgency, Stone argues for a stronger legal system,
for rape kits on police shelves to be processed, for better
training for teachers and paediatricians. Above all, she offers a
hopeful glimpse of life beyond trauma . . . The Beauty of Living
Twice promises the possibility of improvement or redemption, of
compassion and understanding, of living honestly.' The Washington
Post 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, she chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life, and
the slow road back to wholeness and health. In an industry 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 women and
children around the globe. Over the course of these intimate pages,
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
business 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 talent and beauty, but for her candour
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.
