The Great Peace is a harrowing, heartbreaking coming-of-age story set in Hollywood, in which young teenage model-turned-actor Mena Suvari lost herself to sex, drugs and bad, often abusive relationships even as blockbuster movies made her famous. It's about growing up in the 90s, with a soundtrack ranging from The Doors to Deee-Lite, fashion from denim to day-glo, and a sad young woman dealing with the lasting psychological scars of abuse, yet knowing deep inside she has and desires so much more from life. Within these vulnerable pages, Mena not only reveals her own mistakes, but also the lessons she learned and her efforts to understand and grow rather than casting blame. As such, she makes this a timeless story of girl empowerment and redemption, of somebody using their voice to rediscover their past, seek redemption, and to understand their mistakes, and ultimately come to terms with their power as an individual to find a way and a will to live-and thrive. Poignant, intimate, and powerful, this book will resonate with anyone who has found themselves lost in the darkness, thinking there's no way out. Ultimately, Mena's story proves that, no matter how hopeless it may seem, there's always a light at the end.

Martin Sheen and Mena Suvari star in this gritty crime thriller. After arresting her own partner to prevent him from shooting a handcuffed citizen, officer Jessica Dawson (Suvari) is transferred to internal affairs and tasked with investigating two narcotics detectives (Jesse Bradford and Lochlyn Munro) accused of killing an innocent teenager during a drugs raid. Determined to uncover the truth behind a possible cover-up and bring the perpetrators to justice, the unflinching detective finds her life under increasing threat as she clashes with head of department Captain Richards (Sheen) and his staff.
