A follow-up to Jill Ireland's autobiography Lifewish. It is an account of two of the most painful passages in her life - her slowly disintegrating relationship with her adoptive son, Jason, who turned to drug abuse, and the stroke that afflicted her father, leaving him of sound mind but incapable of speech. Written with the most painful insights into Hollywood life and portraits of her later marriage to Charles Bronson, this book gives a picture of a family that has had to cope with much more that its share of tragedy and survived.
