Book excerpt: She grew up in front of the world on the beloved sitcom Full House, but then actress Andrea Barber abruptly left Hollywood. Why did she leave and what did she do for twenty years out of the spotlight before returning to television? This is her funny and inspiring memoir of fame, heartache, resilience—and the reboot of a lifetime . . . When Kimmy Gibbler burst into the Tanners’ home on Full House in 1987, audiences immediately connected with the confident and quirky pre-teen character, played by ten-year-old actress Andrea Barber. During an eight-season run on one of the most popular series of the ‘80s and ‘90s, Andrea came of age in front of millions. But she was as far removed from her character as a girl can get. The introverted young star was plagued with self-doubt, insecurities, and debilitating anxieties that left her questioning her identity after the show’s cancelation. Andrea wouldn’t return to the public eye until 2016, for Fuller House. So what happened in those intervening decades that Andrea jokingly calls “the lost years”? For starters, Andrea never stopped working. But it was on a series of life-changing transitions: earning a college degree, then a Master’s, building a career in international education, getting married, and starting a family. She also faced some unforeseeable transitions: navigating a sudden divorce after nearly twelve years of marriage, and second-guessing her capabilities as a single mother. But it was her devastating bout with post-partum anxiety and depression that derailed Andrea’s life—and became a crucial turning point. Full Circle is a raw, refreshingly honest look into the life of a celebrity who has never been fully comfortable in the spotlight. Here Andrea shares her deeply personal struggles with mental health in a way she has never done before. She opens up about fighting her way back and finding solace—while finding herself—all before her life came full circle with her costars and lifelong friends on Fuller House. Sharing her journey from child star, to champion of mental health, and back to stardom, Andrea writes in a way that feels like catching up with an old friend. You’ll laugh, reminisce, and finally get to know the woman behind the zany next door neighbor.

Download or read book Full Circle written by Ferdinand Mount and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So much about the society that is now emerging in the twenty-first century bears an astonishing resemblance to the most prominent features of what we call the classical world - its institutions, its priorities, its entertainment, its physics, its sexual morality, its food, its politics, even its religion. The ways in which we live our rich and varied lives correspond - almost eerily so - to the ways in which the Greeks and Romans lived theirs. Whether we are eating and drinking, bathing or exercising or making love, pondering, admiring or enquiring, our habits of thought and action, our diversions and concentrations recreate theirs. It is as though the 1500 years after the fall of Rome had been time out from traditional ways of being human. This eye-opening book makes us look afresh at who we are and how we got here. Full Circleis not only wonderfully witty and brilliantly astute, but also profound and often disquieting. Ferdinand Mount effortlessly peels back 2000 years of history to show how much we are like the ancients, how in ways both trivial and crucial we arethem and they are us.

Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives—a “compulsively readable parable for the 21st century” (Vanity Fair). When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

Download or read book Full Circle written by Christian W. Wingire and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full Circle is based on actual events as I remember them while serving side-by-side with the 26th Marine Regiment as a Navy Corpsman (Medic). These events are forever etched in my memory. I wrote Full Circle for my parents and family members who asked me what I did in the Navy during the Vietnam Conflict. At that time, I avoided answering them. Rarely would I say anything to anyone about what I had done or seen. I tried to put memories of Vietnam and the demons bouncing around in my head behind me, and move forward with my life. In my mid-thirties, I had several concerning health events--chest pains, shortness of breath, and depression. I was referred to a psychologist to discuss what the doctor referred to as "panic attacks. The doctor told me I had classic symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I knew I was not the same person I was when I left home at the age of 19 to join the Navy. Now I am in my senior years, and still, there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about my life Vietnam. The sound of a Huey helicopter brings me to attention, and I start looking for it in the sky. The fresh smell of rain makes me think about another night of being wet and miserable. The sound of a mosquito flying close to my ear makes me grab for a towel to cover my face, ears, and neck. Sudden loud sounds still make me jump and look for cover from "incoming". There is a saying, "Those who died in Vietnam died forever young." When I look in the mirror today, I see myself as an old man getting older. When I think of the Marines I knew who died in Vietnam, I can only remember their faces as young men never to be older. I think those who died early in their tours in Vietnam were the lucky ones because they did not have to suffer as much as we who made the "Full Circle". Full Circle is about the time I served in Vietnam. It covers the period from when I left my family and returned home making the "full circle" of my tour of service. If you feel scared, tired, dirty, hot, wet, cold, hopeless, and unworthy, when you read this book, then I will have gotten my point across. There were times of sheer terror and sheer boredom. The heat, rain, bugs, leeches, and snakes made daily life a miserable hell. The stink of burning barrels of human waste, cooking of foreign foods over an open fire, and the smell of dead things were always present. The sound of a Huey helicopter overhead immediately brings me back to Vietnam. I still remember the feeling of helplessness when someone yelled "incoming" and the gut wrenching feeling when I heard the call, "Corpsman up." We Vietnam veterans are now old and will be passing on soon. Coming home from Vietnam was hard for some of us. It is still hard for me today. This book is about my fellow Marines and my own experiences as a Navy Fleet Marine Corpsman in Vietnam. Everyone who served there has his or her own story, but this is my story.

Download or read book Coming Full Circle written by Wanda Lloyd and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Inspiring reading for aspiring journalists and students of civil rights.” — Kirkus Reviews Wanda Smalls Lloyd’s Coming Full Circle: From Jim Crow to Journalism—with a foreword by best-selling author Tina McElroy Ansa—is the memoir of an African American woman who grew up privileged and educated in the restricted culture of the American South in the 1950s–1960s. Her path was shaped by segregated social, community, and educational systems, religious and home training, a strong cultural foundation, and early leadership opportunities. Despite Jim Crow laws that affected where she lived, how she was educated, and what civil rights she would be denied, Lloyd grew up to realize her childhood dream of working as a professional journalist. In fact, she would eventually hold some of the nation’s highest-ranking newspaper editorial positions and become one of the first African American women to be the top editor of a mainstream daily newspaper. Along the way she helped her newspapers and other media organizations understand how the lack of newsroom and staff diversity interfered with perceptions of accuracy and balance for their audiences. Her memoir is thus a window on the intersection of race, gender, culture and the media’s role in our uniquely American experiment in democracy. How Lloyd excelled in a profession where high-ranking African American women were rare is a memorable story that will educate, entertain, and inspire. Coming Full Circle is a self-reflective exploration of the author’s life journey from growing up in coastal Savannah, Georgia, to editing roles at seven daily newspapers around the country, and circling back to her retirement in Savannah, where she now teaches journalism to a new generation.
