“Taking long, winding walks every day, appreciating the sounds of the birds and basking in the chill of the mountain air, I asked myself, ‘Why should I write a book? What do I have to say that could help and inspire someone?’ “With so many incidents that have made me and also broken me, and I needed to free myself by getting them out. Reflecting about my life, my journey and the things I’ve had to overcome will make me feel better and lighter,” said the actor.

She added that through her book she wanted her readers to know that if despite her flaws, her broken relationships, and circumstances in her life, “she can get up, get going and look really good while doing so, so can they,” quoted by FirstPost.
