In Shattered Love, Richard Chamberlain recounts
his fascinating journey as an impressionable boy growing up in postwar
California who stumbled into the Hollywood
of big studios, big money, and big personas. Through long days on the set
and glittering evenings on the town with Joan Crawford, Princess Margaret,
Elizabeth Taylor, and a cast of other colorful characters, Chamberlain
gamely and tirelessly played his Golden Boy role. As time passed, however,
he longed to reconcile his deepest self with his public persona -- including
his sexual orientation, a secret he has guarded until now. With candor,
honesty, and wit, Shattered Love captures Chamberlain's poignant struggle
to come to terms with the truths in his life -- from his tumultuous relationship
with his troubled father to his lifelong quest to find spiritual truth
in everyday life.
Warm, touching, and brave, Shattered Love draws
on a lifetime of stories and on lessons learned from some of the most inspiring
spiritual teachers of our time -- sharing with readers the author's own
journey from desperate suppression to a life lived with an open heart. |
