Jennifer Love Hewitt
About this listen
When she lost her mother to cancer, everything changed for Jennifer Love Hewitt. In Inheriting Magic, she recounts her journey, sharing memories, recipes, and the magic-making ethos of a self-proclaimed “Holiday Junkie.”
A heartfelt, candid chronicle that charts a course from sorrow to celebration, this unique memoir includes:
• Jennifer’s favorite recipes, from her grandmother’s chicken and dumplings to her husband’s holiday cocktail
• An explosion of festive plans, including images, sure to inspire your decorating plans for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, and a whole year’s worth of holidays
• Foolproof strategies for adding magic to your family’s everyday routine, such as moon water, baskets of joy, glowing dinners, and more
Inheriting Magic is about how grief, being a mom of three, having a deep love for party planning, and being passionate about the holidays turned what could have been an ordinary life into something enchanting. Through it, Jennifer inspires all listeners to add more love, light, and the making of core memories into their everyday lives.
“Jennifer Love Hewitt takes us on a journey of love, loss, and self-realization … One part self-help, one part memoir, and one part how-to, Jennifer manages to straddle three different genres, giving all moms a treasure trove of ideas with a healthy dose of heart.”—Jenny Mollen, actor and New York Times bestselling author of City of Likes and I Like You Just the Way I Am
This enhanced edition contains an audio-exclusive Q&A with the author and additional bonus content throughout the memoir.

At thirty-six, Naomi Watts had just completed filming King Kong and was trying to start a family when she was told that she was on the brink of menopause. It is estimated that seventy-five million women in the United States are currently dealing with menopause symptoms (dry itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats), and yet the very word “menopause” continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, ashamed, and deeply alone when the time comes. This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms.

For any woman who has ever bought a self-help book and wondered why she bothered. (P.S. Now that I know he's just not that into me, where do I go from there? Yeah, thanks for that advice.) Jennifer Love Hewitt is a self-proclaimed "love-aholic" and hopeless romantic (her middle name is Love, after all!). She has been lucky and unlucky in love, and lived to tell about it---and she's done it all in the spotlight. Much has been written about her love life---some true, most made up to sell magazines.

Before Anna Delvey, before the Tinder Swindler, there was Kari Ferrell. Adopted at a young age by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, leading her to run with the “bad crowd” in an effort to fit in. Soon, stealing from superstores turned into picking up men (and picking their pockets), and before she knew it, Kari had graduated from petty theft to Utah’s most wanted list. Though Kari was able to escape the Southwest, she couldn’t outrun her new moniker: the Hipster Grifter.

In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister.

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

Story
Matt Rife is well aware that he’s both the most loved and the most controversial comic in America today. And honestly, he thinks that’s your problem. Matt reveals (without apology, of course) what led him to becoming comedy’s biggest lightning rod before he reached thirty, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from Justin Bieber tramp stamps and rap battles with ex-cons to Matt’s struggles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.

Story
It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Story
Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between scene rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating—in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.

Love
We live in a time when our parents’ humanity is something we can be open about. It’s not only ok but sometimes we’re even encouraged to talk about those bits from our childhoods that at one time were kept under wraps. Even though these conversations are important, and treated with much sensitivity, it feels like we also need to keep the stories alive that remind us of the super powers our parents displayed as well as passed on to us. There’s a harmony to keeping both alive I guess. This is what Love Hewitt’s book has made me realize. In feeling the love she has for her mom inside the words of the narrative, I am reminded of my mom’s and my mom-in-law’s super powers—the parts of their humanities that are just extra special and have gifted my life with so much beauty.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is marvelously magical
She manages to make even the smallest details that most people would take for granted and makes it magical and that’s amazing to me. She may be a celebrity but she is also an everyday mom who works, cooks and cleans and makes everyday occurrences a little extra special. Yes she is definitely the “Holiday Junkie” but she also gives great mostly simple ideas to make things more exciting and special. The story is from the heart and her emotions while reading feels like you are having a workshop with her in the room while also talking to your best friend. The only downside is that there are recipes and written ideas that are not included in the Audible. I have followed her singing and acting career from when she was a kid on “Kids Incorporated” to her most recent show. Her smile and personality are infectious and I’m glad I gave this a chance. I would definitely recommend to any mom just trying to make it while still giving those magical moments to their kids.

not sure what I was expecting
I bought this audiobook after listening to a podcast when she spoke about her relationship with her mother and her grieving process. it wS a bit of an impulse buy to be honest. The book pretty much told the same story she did in the podcast with the addition of mommy how-tos to introduce "magic" into your children's lives by throwing themed parties and other family activities. Sorry to say, I was not impressed with the how-tos portion of it. I expected more story and philosophical discussion I guess, but how-tos are just not my thing. I feel like you could get similar ideas online or in a magazine-- and no need to buy the book at all.
