About this listen

“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.

I have come to adore Paulina’s refreshing honesty and the insights and wisdom she shares—most of which come with age. An awesome read for women who are her contemporaries.

What a magnificent woman! She has so many layers and I love that she is so pro-aging. Her stories have real depth, humor, and pathos. Thank you for this gift!

Fascinating!

Most people are interested only in Paulina’s way to fame & how to look beautiful and stay beautiful. Or, in her relationship with Ric. Paulina has a real life story of abandonment, living in a culture many of us have not and will not ever experience, depression. From rags to riches and love without love as well as being a mother, wife, greiving widow (to a “man” that split her heart wide open) And Super Model! WoW, what a story to be shared! Thank you Paulina, for sharing your wisdom.

I loved learning of Paulina’s early life, her impressions of her world and how they’ve changed over time, with experience, tragedy & perspective.

Interesting & inspiring story

I enjoyed the stories of her life and the lessons she has learned along the way. For me, I felt as if I were listening to a friend telling me about her life. For women of a certain age, I think we can empathize with her as many of us have been through the same things- even if we were never as beautiful as she, even if we were never a supermodel.

Enjoyed it

Though not a traditional linear narration, I very much enjoyed Paulina’s life story and philosophical comments.

Enjoyable

This book was written from the heart! A truly heart warming, and uplifting story, not just for woman of a certain age, but all woman, who’ve ever felt as if they weren’t quite enough along their lives journey!
Writing is Paulina’s true calling! Narration in the audio book was top notch!
