Originally published in 1958, this is Lillian Roth’s story in her own words following up on her blockbuster memoir I’ll Cry Tomorrow. 'Nothing in my wildest imaginings could have prepared me for what has happened these past five years,' says Lillian Roth in her new book, which continues the story of her life from the publication of I’ll Cry Tomorrow to the present. Catapulted back into the limelight as a 'reformed' alcoholic, faced with the problems of a professional come-back, besieged by people who sought solace and advice, troubled by her own weaknesses and doubts, she found herself on the verge of panic and blindness. But the love and strength of her husband, the will to make good on her own, and the faith and affection of a vast audience who turned to her for help, carried her over the troubled waters. Step by step she found her way out of the darkness that still threatened her. With the same frankness and honesty that made her autobiography a deeply moving experience, Lillian Roth now describes her struggle back to the top of the nightclub circuit, of the lean and the full years, of the disappointments and triumphs, and of her search for religious understanding. She tells of her decision to become a serious actress, of the way she finally found a home, after forty-six years, and of the never-ending struggle that everyone is faced with. 'Life is a struggle-and to stop struggling is to stop living. But that struggle is not for money alone, but to create, to realize the best within us.''People turned to me for help, not realizing that I too suffered human frailty. But wondrously, they brought me their strength along with their fears.' Seldom has there been a story as inspiring and warmly human as this continuation of the record of a woman’s search to find peace and happiness within herself.
