By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years.

So grateful to Ms. Foo for this beautiful book. Although it’s her very personal story in the end I felt heard.

Reviewed: 04-10-22
I have always loved her books but Sister Stardust has a depth and poignance I had not expected. I usually turn to her when I need a bit of fun and romance and escape. This book has that but also resonated deeply and inspired me to reflect on so many choices in my own life. I am so happy for her and hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Hard to decide which was more boring; the story or the reader? However, if you need something to help you fall asleep this might do the trick. That is if you are not too annoyed by the fact that you actually PAID for this.

A New Fan of Brooke
Reviewed: 07-25-05
I have grown up watching Brooke Shields. We are about the same age and I can say that I have never really thought about her one way or another except that she was beautiful and probably vacuous. I bought this book reluctantly because my husband and I are trying to have a baby and I was reading everything I could find from science to moral support. Let me say that I was floored by her honesty and comforted by her courage. I can now say unequivocally that I am a fan of Brooke Shields. Her storytelling kept my attention from start to finish and the sound of her voice is a pleasure to listen to. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I would give it 6 stars if I could. The only thing that would make it better is if it were unabridged.
