Book Description

A beautifully written and evocative memoir of pain and redemption, of hurt and healing, from an actress whose private life and personal choices have made her a household name.

"My life is a life movies are made of," wrote Anne Heche in the proposal for her memoir. Yet what is truly surprising about Heche is that the most publicized event of her past -- her romance with Ellen DeGeneres -- is only one development in a fascinating and difficult life that has included more than its share of heartache and tragedy.

Heche's memoir reveals the woman behind the headlines, one who has conquered overwhelming odds. Far from a celebrity memoir, this is an empowering and thought-provoking book guaranteed to surprise and inspire.

4.0�toiles sur 5 an intriguing memoir, D�c 2 2004

Par	"nikki9_doors" (Toronto, ON) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Anne Heche writes an intimate, sad, story of a girl who went through hell. I found it to be poignant, surprising, and sweet. There are a couple of graphic descriptions of events in her life that most people would find a little disturbing.

it takes guts to pour out that much of yourself, candidly and honestly, and I reccommend this book just simply to hear about the world someone else has had to endure.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Intense book!, Oct. 27 2003

Par	Lili "myz41" (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Call Me Crazy: A Memoir (Paperback)

This memoir was intense, it's hard to beleived that a person can go threw this and survive, Anne is a sensitive, beautiful and talented actresse, it take lots of courage to write that type of book and I think people who said she just want publicity they the one who are truely crazy, come on will someone write these type of things for publicity, I beleive they are narrow, cruel and selfish people who said that. It was a good book but something was missing, the writing maybe is not that good, we tent to want to give up reading but if you are a fan of Anne Heche or just want to know about this wonderful person and how she survive threw her abuse has a child read it.

Par	Joellen Corrocher (Philadelphia, PA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Call Me Crazy: A Memoir (Paperback)

Thank you, Anne, for sharing with us the most intimate details of your life. The things Anne has been through are amazing and the work she has done on herself is incredible. That someone can grow up in such grotesque surroundings in which any sliver of individuality was completely suppressed and subsequently develop enough strength to face the demons that were left inside them self is amazing! I can't help but be inspired by her strength and by the message she puts forth in the book, that you cannot love or receive love from another person until you love yourself and allow yourself to be who you are. Clich�, yes, but Anne does a beautiful job of showing us how she is working to achieve just that. In this book Anne shares with us the most hideous parts of the abuse she endured as a child and the ugliness she later faced in therapy and in her life. I had to keep reminding myself that this was non-fiction; I just couldn't believe this really happened. Although some parts were tough to get through, upon finishing the book I feel hopeful. As a social worker, I am fully aware of the many forms of abuse that exist within our society. The only people that can stop the cycle of abuse are those stuck in the cycle, the victims of abuse. These people must posses the energy and the courage to face themselves and their beliefs about themselves that have been put in their head by their abuser so as to not perpetuate the abuse. Anne has proven that it is possible. This is a brave piece of work Anne has put together and I am inspired by her courage and strength!
