Marie's book made me laugh and cry. My heart went out to her over the problems she has experienced over the years. Many of us must have thought what a perfect life she has, but like so many of us that sometimes give others that impression, we all sometimes hide "Behind the smile". This book is very touching and full of good encouraging advice for people that have had or are experiencing similar problems to Marie.How Marie has managed to juggle a full career and seven children is incredible, but one of the things that comes across in the book is that if we stop and listen to our inner voice and stop ignoring it we would have a happier life. Trying to please others all the time and suppressing our pain can manifest it self in so many ways. Marie has learn't so many lessons through her depression and shares them with the reader. Her good sense of humour and anecdotes are very funny to read. I hope she now has time to spend with her adorable children and family and I thank her for being so frank in her book and helping others who may be experiencing similar problems to her. You will not be disappointed by anything in this book. once you start reading it you won't want to put it down.

If you suffer from PPD or any type of depression, then this book is very good for you! Marie Osmond shares her experiences with PPD and the effects and origions of her personal 'tragedy'. BUT, if you think this is an indepth autobiography of her life, you will be a little disappointed. Although she does talk about her past life, she does not go into 'details' or 'full recounts' of her life story. She talks openly, but yet still remains a little reserved to protect her privacy. She recounts bits and pieces of her past life and experiences but not in the order of any regular autobiography.
All in all, this book is still informative and entertaining and a very good read, espeically if you are a Marie Osmond fan.

I was really pleased when I received this book. It came well packed and in excellant condition. I read it within 3 days,couldnt put it down.
I goes through Marie Osmond's journey with PPD (postpartum depression). It also goes back to her childhood and through the days of the first Donny and Marie show and how the producers told het that she needed to loose weight because she was going to let all the people down working on the show, so she went through a stage of using laxatives and making her self sick to loose the weight, but she got through that. She also writes about her mariage to Brian and about the children that she has had weather they are biological or adopted. It doesnt matter to her, they are all her children whatever way that came to her.
In all the chapters there is always somthing that will make you laugh or you make you think of how she got through those situations.
After she had her son matthew she knew after a couple of days that she was suffering from something more than the normal baby blues. She writes about how she struggles to do the most simple things. She puts on a 'front' to show everyone that Marie Osmond is fine. Some days she just wants to sleep and not get up. One day she writes a couple of cheques give them to the babysitter and gives her brians number gets in the car and just drives for hours because she cant cope anymore. It's not until brian finds her and then he calls her parents and her mum tells her that she went through the same thing that she realises how people never talk about ppd and how they feel like that its like a bad thing that they suffer from this. She then starts to get help from the doctors and begins to feel better.
I would defenalty recommend that people get this book. Its a fantastic book. Has got some lovely photos in it. Like I said couldnt put it down I lost track of time reading this book.
