Synopsis
Film and television star Alec Baldwin (GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, 30 ROCK) takes a scathing look at the American family law system in A PROMISE TO OURSELVES, a passionate and brutally revealing memoir of his bitter divorce and custody battle with the actress Kim Basinger. Baldwin is known for his brooding persona, and his angst and anger are in full display in this heartfelt plea for more fairness and decency in a system that tears parents (typically the father) away from their children, sometimes resulting in the bitterness and depression of P.A.S. (Parental Alienation Syndrome).

Publisher's Note
Sharing details of his own contentious divorce litigation, the award-winning actor discusses the heavy toll of divorce--financial, psychological, and emotional--on non-custodial parents, offering practical guidelines on such topics as prenuptial agreements, how to select an attorney, custody and visitation strategies, and more. 200,000 first printing.

Industry reviews
"Divorce is hell. Lawyers are vultures. Children get lost. Baldwin bravely set out to illuminate and change the way divorce is conducted in this country; he also, wittingly or not, offers a candid, unhappy portrait of a marriage gone desperately sour."
 (10/05/2008)

"Alec Baldwin's A PROMISE TO OURSELVES proceeds from a double-pronged thesis: that American divorce laws are deeply flawed, and that Kim Basinger is a crazy bitch."
 (05/01/2009)

Alec Baldwin Autobiography Kim Bassinger Divorce Nasty

 

Up for bids is this hardcover version of A Promise To Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce, which was written by Alec Baldwin himself and is BRAND NEW with a reminder dot (NOT a library book; NO punch holes).     

 

 “I have been through some of the worst of contentious divorce litigation,” Alec Baldwin declares in A Promise to Ourselves. Using a very personal approach, he offers practical guidance to help others avoid the anguish he has endured.

An Academy and Tony Award nominee and a 2007 recipient of Golden Globe, SAG, and Television Critics Association Awards for best actor in a comedy, Alec Baldwin is one of the best-known, most successful actors in the world. His relationship with Kim Basinger, the Academy Award–winning actress, lasted nearly a decade. They have a daughter named Ireland, and for a time, theirs seemed to be the model of a successful Hollywood marriage. But in 2000 they separated and in 2002 divorced. Their split---specifically the custody battle surrounding Ireland---would be the subject of media attention for years to come.

In his own life and others’, Baldwin has seen the heavy toll that divorce can take---psychologically, emotionally, and financially. He has been extensively involved in divorce litigation, and he has witnessed the way that noncustodial parents, especially fathers, are often forced to abandon hopes of equitable rights when it comes to their children. He makes a powerful case for reexamining and changing the way divorce and child custody is decided in this country and levels a scathing attack at what he calls the “family law industry.”

When it comes to his experiences with judges, court-appointed therapists, and lawyers, Baldwin pulls no punches. He casts a light on his own divorce and the way the current family law system affected him, his ex-wife, and his daughter, as well as many other families. This is an important, informative, and deeply felt book on a contentious subject that offers hope of finding a better way.
