A book I highly recommend which is also appropriate for Women's History Month because Sharon Stone is definitely a seminal figure in US film and cultural, and even political, history (and, full disclosure, a friend for over forty years). This is very much the story of a woman standing up to the challenges of a lifetime of being underestimated because of her gender and more.
THE BEAUTY OF LIVING TWICE is as bluntly authentic and brilliantly insightful a memoir as you might expect from someone who has never been afraid to tell the truth as she sees it and has experienced it. And always with disarming wit and intellect. It immediately engaged me so thoroughly I read it in one day, couldn't put it down. And it's also appropriate for a belated Saint Paddy's Day tribute, as she is a descendant of the Irish diaspora and makes clear how much her Irish-American heritage has influenced her.
