by Anthony Hopkins - Memoir, Nonfiction

With candor and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony Hopkins recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. He also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life --- the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt --- much like the men in his family --- and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret.
