Book Description

August 25, 1999
Based in one-on-one interviews broadcast on Odyssey's signature program, Quiet Triumphs presents a tremendously personal side of well-known celebrities as they face intimate issues from breast cancer and depression to addiction and the loss of a child. From Willard Scott's confession of regular panic attacks to Judy Collin's struggle to accept her son's suicide, Mary Alice Williams demonstrates her extraordinary ability to bring out the tears of honesty in her guests.

Quiet Triumphs is a touching, joyful, practical, sometimes funny, yet always moving acknowledgment that despite the tough times, people can move ahead and live patient, strong, and faithful lives.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"The people in these pages are celebrities. They have talent and intelligence and the drive to have accumulated impressive credentials and great wealth. And none of it has inoculated them against all that it means to be human. No matter who you are or what your station in life, people go through tough times. They just do. They have personal challenges during which they feel isolated, afraid, alone. In knowing these celebrities in a new way, you may come to know yourself as well." -- -- Mary Alice Williams

This review is from: Quiet Triumphs: Celebrities Share Survival Strategies for Getting Through the Hard Times (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book as it reveals the stories behind the stars. It is suprisingly inspirational. This wonderful book prompted me to read Barbara Barrie's equally wonderful book, Second Act about her bout with colon cancer. Both Books givew great insight into life. Fame, beauty and Stardom matters not. One does not feel alone after reading these two wonderful books. One never knows what waits.
