Summary: Thanks Nancy
Review: This message is for Nancy if she ever reads this page:

I thought your book was wonderful. It was very touching. I think that tabloids (both TV and magazines) are absolutely horrible. We all know that sometimes we can't help but look at the headlines when we are waiting to check out at the grocery store. I think what they do is terrible. They lie and try to make us, the readers, believe things that are not true, thus giving us a bad image of a celebrity we may admire. I hope that with time you and Jennifer will be able to establish your relationship. What the interviewer did was wrong and it is because things like that that rumors get started. Thanks for raising a daughter who has become America's Sweetheart! She's my role model as well as an inspiration

Summary: Not all it was cracked up to be
Review: While I understand that separation from one's child is difficult and makes for interesting reading, I failed to understand or sympathize with Nancy Aniston. This book is neither insiteful nor hopeful. The author (for some reason or another) feels it important to express in nearly every page of the book that she is a knock-out beauty, raving intellect and talented in everything she attempts. It is important to recognize one's own self beauty and self worth, but it is also important to express humility. Nancy Aniston also goes on to say that she was responsible for her 2nd husband's career success and without her pushing him so hard, he would have never left the sofa. The author comes across as vain, bitter and misunderstanding of others' need to push her away, including her famous daughter, Jennifer. I found her self-pitying attitude hard to swallow. This book seems more like a defense tactic, rather than a book of love, insite or hope. And one more point I would like to make... I was reading others' reviews of the same book and noticed a review written by "Coral Leigh", a name that looked familiar. Coral Leigh is a personal friend of Nancy Aniston's - her name is mentioned in the book itself. I can hardly recommend that anyone interpret her written review of this book as impartial and objective.
