quite miraculous . . . Writing with zeal and urgency Stone argues for a stronger legal system
for rape kits on police shelves to be processed for better training for teachers and
paediatricians. Above all she offers a hopeful glimpse of life beyond trauma . . . The Beauty
of Living Twice promises the possibility of improvement or redemption of compassion and
understanding of living honestly.' The Washington Post Sharon Stone one of the most
renowned actresses in the world suffered a massive stroke that cost her not only her health
but her career family fortune and global fame. In The Beauty of Living Twice she chronicles
her efforts to rebuild her life and the slow road back to wholeness and health. In an industry
that doesn't accept failure in a world where too many voices are silenced Stone found the
power to return the courage to speak up and the will to make a difference in the lives of
women and children around the globe. Over the course of these intimate pages Stone talks
about her pivotal roles her life-changing friendships her worst disappointments and her
greatest accomplishments. She reveals how she went from a childhood of trauma and violence to a
business that in many ways echoed those same assaults under cover of money and glamour. She
describes the strength and meaning she found in her children and in her humanitarian efforts.
And ultimately she shares how she fought her way back to find not only her truth but her
family's reconciliation and love. Stone made headlines not just for her talent and beauty
but for her candour and her refusal to "play nice " and it's those same qualities that make
this memoir so powerful. The Beauty of Living Twice is a book for the wounded and a book for
the survivors it's a celebration of women's strength and resilience a reckoning and a call
to activism. It is proof that it's never too late to raise your voice and speak out.
