An outspoken thinker, a celebrated actress, a truly independent woman, Shirley MacLaine goes beyound her previous two best sellers to take us on an intimate yet powerful journey into her personal life and inner self.

An intense, clandestine love affair with a prominent politician sparks Shirley MacLaine's quest of self-discovery. From Stockholm to Hawaii to the mountain vastness of Peru, from disbelief to radiant affirmation, she at last discovers the roots of her very existence...and the infinite possibilities of life.

Shirley MacLaine opens her heart to explore the meaning of a great and enduring passion with her lover Gerry; the mustery of her soul's connection with her best friend David; the tantalizing secrets behind a great actor's inspiration with the late Peter Sellers. And through it all, Shirley's courage and candor opens new doors, new insights, new revelations-and a luminous new world she invites us all to share.

I thought it was spiritual mumbo jumbo. It is very contrary to my beliefs but someone who actually believes in reincarnation may really enjoy it.

I loved this book, even reading it decades later. Shirley is such a great storyteller, and so bright.
I since have read everything she's written, in just a few months, and am sad there is nothing else. I hope she keeps writing, she truly has a gift.
This book will change your life.
