Publisher's Note
In the moving and inspiring follow-up to her "New York Times" bestselling memoir "Keeping Secrets", Suzanne Somers reveals her years before and after "Three's Company" and discloses with fearless self-examination how the dizzying rise and fall of her television career mirrored the chaos and conflict in her personal life.
In this moving and inspiring follow-up to her New York Times best-selling memoir, Keeping Secrets, Suzanne Somers revisits her years before and after Threes Company and reveals with fearless self-examination how the dizzying rise and fall of her television career mirrored the chaos and conflict in her personal life.  With her usual candor and perspective, Suzanne takes readers inside the rehearsal hall of Threes Company and offers a never-before-seen look at the competition, jealousy, and greed that accompanies a hit TV show. As the lovableChrissy Snow, Suzanne Somers became the toast of Hollywood, with all its glittery perks. Yet all was not perfect, she confesses. Simultaneously, her professional success and her relationship with her husband, the love of a lifetime, were being sorely tested as they attempted to blend their families together and were forced to deal with the anger and resentment of their mutual children.  When she became the first female star to ask for the same pay as male television stars, Suzanne was fired from Threes Company and the once-welcoming doors to the most powerful offices in Hollywood slammed shut. For the better part of the next decade, she was unofficially blackballed from television because of this incident.  In this insightful memoir, Suzanne tells all, from the heady days of stardom to her fall from grace and the grief that followed, to her eventual resurrection as an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and, once again, beloved TV star. Every reader whos ever experienced loss or felt a great opportunity slip through his or her fingers can relateto Suzanne's story of how she fought back, woncontrol over her own destiny, and learned lessons along the journey.

Industry reviews
This combination of Hollywood memoir and pop psychology self-analysis follows Somers's 1986 bestseller, Keeping Secrets, in tracing the long-term effects of growing up with an alcoholic father. While relating her professional ups and downs, Somers also reveals the personal life lived behind the glittering facade that concealed a disastrous sense of isolation and "keeping secrets." Marriage, motherhood, step-parenting and professional ambition were all colored by the classic traits of adult children of alcoholics fear, low self-worth, control issues, denial, self-sabotage and a nearly insatiable need for approval and love. Somers identifies her own mistakes and "lessons" along the way with insight that comes only with age (she is now in her 50s) and unrelenting self-examination. At the height of her popularity as Chrissy Snow in the TV sitcom Three's Company, she reports, "the network had decided to make an example of the next big star who asked for a salary increase," and she was dropped from the show and virtually blackballed from show business. In simple, conversational prose, Somers recounts her resulting "diversification" into night-club acts (including a long-running hit in Las Vegas), ThighMaster exercise equipment, jewelry and books; she eventually returned to TV series comedy, in Step by Step. Her book is a cheerful pep talk, not high literature, but it does its job well and, in any case, it's hard to dislike a book that posts the dedication, "My goal in life is to become the person my dog thinks I am."
