Average Rating: Rating: - Necessary reading Lying separates people is one of the many poignant quotes I remember from this book. Anyone, regardless of age, let me qualify that, anyone in Jr. High or older, can learn something about themselves, friend, partner, neighbour or loved one after completing this book. Somers does a masterful job in systematically outlining her life as a young person. She utilizes Sharon W-Cruz' model of the dysfunctional family very well. Anyone in denial should not read this book. The illusions of chemical dependency are stripped and the facades are challenged. We are not talking about some dozzy fake blond we saw on '3's company'. We are talking about the ghosts that Suzanne allowed to come out of her closet. She has the academic ability to do what former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy who was victimized by his Junior hockey coach (Graham James) has not been able to do...yet. Good for her. People, kids and victims need to read this. Rating: - A beautifully written and truly honest life story. As an author, Suzanne Somers reveals her true talent. Keeping Secrets is an honest tell-all account of her life beginning with her first recollections of childhood and growing up in an alcoholic family. Living in constant fear of her father's physical and verbal abuse, Suzanne Somers manages to barely survive as a teenage mother in a love-less marriage, her son's near-fatal accident, her siblings falling one-by-one into alcohol abuse, her arrest for cheque fraud, and a torrid love affair with a married man. Suzanne Somers' story is a "must read" not only for those who have experienced alcoholism in some way but to anyone who has the desire to learn from one's mistakes and be a better person. Suzanne Somers is a wonderful example of honesty and strength - the desire to overcome past mistakes and go on to personal and professional success. Rating: - Heart warming! What a miraculous life Suzanne Somers has led. Before reading "Keeping Secrets", I tended to view her as a shallow and superficial Hollywood blond. This book has given me insight into her painful past, and I now feel a great deal of respect for her. Her story is painful at the beginning; she vividly describes her miserable home life with an alcoholic father. Sommers' narrative contains no trace of self-pity or exaggeration. She tells the unfortunate details of her father's alcholism in a stark, honest fashion. As she grows into adulthood, we see her flounder at first, and then gradually make the incredible journey into self-discovery and healing. At the same time, her career begins to take off. I was so pleased to read about her triumphs and successes - I can't think of a more deserving person. This story is truly inspirational.
