Breaking the Perfect 10 [Hardcover]

Tracy Lindsey Melchior (Author), Susan Wales (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2005

Tracy wanted life in the spotlight and all the glamour that comes with it. However, the pursuit of this life was not all she had bargained for. Even as she held the prize she thought she wanted, she felt an emptiness and despair in her spirit.

In pursuit to become Hollywood's "perfect 10," Tracy Lindsey Melchior broke God's Perfect 10-the Ten Commandments. She broke every one of them. She was relentless in her pursuit of fame and fortune. However, little did she realize at the time, that she was being relentlessly pursued as well. God lovingly and gently sought after the heart of a sinner named Tracy. And Tracy was found, not shinning bright on the big screen but kneeling at the lowest point in her life when she lacked even the strength to look up. Breaking the Perfect 10 is a beautiful story of the power of Christ's forgiveness, patience, and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Story, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Breaking the Perfect 10 (Hardcover)

This is an inspiring story that so many can relate to. Author Tracy Melchior is very honest about her extremely dysfunctinal upbringing (when she was young, she and her sister were left for weeks at home alone!) and how those set the stage for many bad choices as an adult. Kudos to the author for being so transparent about her shortcomings over the years. I feel like I know her after reading this book.

This review is from: Breaking the Perfect 10 (Hardcover)

Breaking The Perfect 10 by Tracy Lindsey Melchior with Susan Wales is the autobiography of a young woman who was abandoned many times in childhood and grew up feeling unloved and unprotected. Tracy, who later became a daytime TV star of the Bold and the Beautiful, One Life to Live, and Sunset Beach, details many of the troubles of her childhood and teen years and describes how she learned to seek love in all the wrong places and became a relationship addict. Her book is about the triumph she achieved over her derelict life when she became a Christian and some friends walked her through the Bible. She shares her experiences in the hope of helping others who may have similar problems or lifestyles. The book is well written.
