“A book about a rare life  profound love  profound grief  anxiety  self-assurance  empowerment
aging  loss  and joy. It is nuanced  complex  insightful  helpful  and constantly surprising.”
—Ann Patchett  New York Times bestselling author of These Precious Days   Writer and former
model Paulina Porizkova pens a series of intimate  introspective  and enlightening essays about
the complexities of womanhood at every age  pulling back the glossy magazine cover and writing
from the heart.   AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER     Born in Cold War
Czechoslovakia  Paulina Porizkova rose to prominence as a model  appearing on her first Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in 1984.  As the face of Estée Lauder in 1989  she was one of
the highest-paid models in the world. When she was cast in the music video for the song “Drive”
by The Cars  it was love at first sight for her and frontman Ric Ocasek. He was forty at the
time  and Porizkova was nineteen. The decades to come would bring marriage  motherhood  a
budding writing career  and later sadness  loneliness  isolation  and eventually divorce.
Following her ex-husband’s death—and the revelation of a deep betrayal—Porizkova stunned fans
with her fierce vulnerability and disarming honesty as she let the whole world share in her
experience of being a woman who must start over.     This is a wise and compelling exploration
of heartbreak  grief  beauty  aging  relationships  re-invention and finding your purpose. In
these essays  Porizkova bares her soul and shares the lessons she’s learned—often the hard way.
After a lifetime of being looked at  she is ready to be heard.
