Book Description
"Thoughtfully traces [Mara Wilson's] journey from child actress to Hollywood dropout...Who is she now? She's a writer." —NPR's "Guide To 2016’s Great Reads" “Growing up, I wanted to be Mara Wilson. Where Am I Now? is a delight.” —Ilana Glazer, cocreator and star of Broad City Named a best book of the month by GoodReads and Entertainment Weekly A former child actor best known for her starring roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and out of place: as the only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place, to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer “cute” enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. They also illuminate universal struggles, like navigating love and loss, and figuring out who you are and where you belong. Candid, insightful, moving, and hilarious, Where Am I Now? introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up female.

Book Description
He wrote this book for all those who suffer from the same addictions and mental afflictions he and his family endured. Despite all his pain, Kevin never lost his faith. He wanted all of you who endured the same pain that he did to understand what many people struggle with in their daily lives. He urged you to speak up so that our society would be understanding to those in misery and to understand and to find help, in any way you can, for them. Kevin’s message to you who are suffering was to seek help for yourself and your loved ones and realize that suicide hurts everyone: wives, children, parents, extended families, and even those whom you never met. He wanted you to also reach out to God every moment of every day. He wanted you to know that you are loved and that there can be help for you. Kevin’s desire was that all those who suffer and read this book would be educated about these afflictions and realize they are understood and loved so that they need never be alone again. This book could be a miracle for yourself or someone you love. Kevin was like a son to me. I loved him. I wish I could have helped save him.
