The Lonely Life

Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316441295
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Originally published in 1962, The Lonely Life is legendary silver screen actress Bette Davis's lively and riveting account of her life, loves, and marriages--now in ebook for the first time, and updated with an afterword she wrote just before her death. As Davis says in the opening lines of her classic memoir: "I have always been driven by some distant music--a battle hymn, no doubt--for I have been at war from the beginning. I rode into the field with sword gleaming and standard flying. I was going to conquer the world." A bold, unapologetic book by a unique and formidable woman, The Lonely Life details the first fifty-plus years of Davis's life--her Yankee childhood, her rise to stardom in Hollywood, the birth of her beloved children, and the uncompromising choices she made along the way to succeed. The book was updated with new material in the 1980s, bringing the story up to the end of Davis's life--all the heartbreak, all the drama, and all the love she experienced at every stage of her extraordinary life. The Lonely Life proves conclusively that the legendary image of Bette Davis is not a fable but a marvelous reality.

Book Description
Never fall in love with your knight in shining armor... Even though he can't step foot out of his house, Noah King's sole purpose in life is to help people. He created the Ark as a sanctuary for animals and people alike, and it's not surprising that when I'm at my lowest ebb, he's the one who rides in on his white horse and rescues me. But now I'm in a terrible dilemma. Since his wife died giving birth to their baby - who also died - Noah's been a recluse. The last thing he needs in his life is a woman who's eight months' pregnant, alone, and homeless. Of course he's going to want to help me. I know I mustn't mistake kindness and friendship for real love. And I really don't want to be one of life's victims. I want to get myself back on my feet and create a good life for the baby. I don't want to cause Noah pain by stirring up old memories. And I don't want him to feel pity for me. I know I should walk away. But it's strange how it's only when someone shows you kindness that you realize how empty your life has been. Oh God. I'm desperately in love with him. And now the baby is days away from coming, and I've literally nowhere to go. What am I going to do?

From one of England's most celebrated writers, a funny and superbly observed novella about the Queen of England and the subversive power of reading When her corgis stray into a mobile library parked near Buckingham Palace, the Queen feels duty-bound to borrow a book.
