Summary: determination to overcome obstacles and achieve success
Review: Inspirational story about the life of a courageous woman who has overcome many obstacles to achieve what she set out to do. Her ability to learn to deal with a disease that could have ended her fascinating career is an inspiration to all. Diane was not afraid to deal in therapy with the traumas she had as a child. She has became a stronger person and so much surer of herself, which shows in her interviews. She is a very capable and sympatico talk show host.

Summary: I just finished reading the book
Review: This was my first experience ordering a book from Amazon.com, and I was very pleased. I read the book from cover to cover, and as I read, I could identify with so much of the author's story and was so glad she had written so openly and honestly about the things that have been important in her life.I would highly recommend the book to friends and to anyone who has listened to her radio program or heard about it. There is a connection between the writer and the reader that is very personal and moving. I was so glad she wrote about her family relationships, her marriage and her work, her joys and fears. I think there are so many other people, men and women of all ages, who struggle for a lifetime with some of the same concerns she shares in the book, as we all seek to strike a balance between humility and self-esteem, defining and redefining success in the many areas of our lives. What I found a connection with was the profound power that parents have over children and the interactions that go on in all our lives from birth to death. All of us need courage to let even one someone know who we really are, not to mention to let the world know. I'm looking forward to each step I take, alone or with someone I love or have just met, and thank God many times a day for the blessings of life itself and the means we have for communicating in ways that enrich our lives, as letters, books and magazines, radio and television and conversations do.
