From AudioFile

Asked by her godson to give a graduation speech, Maria Shriver struggled with her various roles. Would they want to hear from her as a Kennedy child? As first lady of California? As a journalist? This query sent her into soul-searching that resulted in a Seussian prose-poem lecture that is the centerpiece of this audio. While the rhythms are off at points, she speaks about the most important aspect of life being, not fame, or money, but the way one grows in heart and character. It's not until afterwards that she realizes that she herself--a "people-pleasing, legacy-carrying, perfection-seeking good girl"--might have been the person who most needed to hear her own message. Shriver's narration is heartfelt and courageous in its honesty. S.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This is a wonderful thought provoking, life altering CD narrated by Maria Shriver herself. I was never a fan of Mrs. Shriver when she was a news anchor. She is a wonderfully articulate author and narrator. Mrs. Shriver asks as always the relevant questions necessary to get one thinking!

I heard Maria's interview on some show and though I had to have the book. Obviously it's a short one, and after listening to it, loaned it to a relative. Not something I see myself listening to more than once.
