Find Me

by Rosie O'Donnell

Rosie's memoir. She doesn't know it, but she actually wrote this purely for me to read. Ha. The book focuses on her losing her mother to cancer as a young girl and how it affects/ed her life. How she grew to feel a need to mommy/save others.

She talks about a woman with MPD who she identifies with, and, as well as giving to her, she receives. (She identifies most with one of the woman's personalities)

I. Loved. This. Book. I adore her down-to-earth prose, her thoughts, the way she thinks, her words on life... It just really "spoke" to me. Corny? Yeah. But, at the end, I just cried. I did. I even wrote her a letter (that she'll probably never see or read). Yuppers, I did. Even though I don't know her, I feel like I do.

Definite re-read for me.

Finished: February 3, 2003
