This follow-up to her bestselling volume of autobiography Lifewish describes two traumatic events in Ireland's life - her relationship with her adoptive son, who turned to drug abuse and the stroke that left her father mentally stable but incapable of speech. Ireland was married for several years to David McCallum and moved to Hollywood, where she later married Charles Bronson. She has starred in two major films and has just signed one of the biggest deals with a top American network to present a nightly chat show.
