"This was a wonderful book. I, like so many others who lived through the 70s, was so "inlove" with Farrah, figuratively speaking. She was such a beautiful person inside and out and this book really told of the kind of person she was and her struggles towards the end of her life. I wish I had had the chance to know her. I think I would have been a better person for it. Excellent book!"

“Reading this book will enforce the belief that the tabloids will write whatever they want, often to the anguish of the subject and their family. Alana Stewart sets the record straight. Throughout the book you know in your heart that Farrah tried everything to beat her cancer, and her bravery and determination serves as a great motivator for others with this disease. By reading this book you'll get to know the strength and courage that made Farrah Fawcett the feisty lady she was.”
— Examiner.com" Wow - what a roller coaster ride for Farrah Fawcett. "
— Deirdre, 2/13/2014" I am so happy Alana wrote this book. I watch the biography that Farrah produced herself, but didn't have closure when she did pass away. She was one tough cookie. This book allowed readers to see things from Alana's point of view. Farrah was "Farrah".... I wished she did not have to suffer as she did. "
— Roxanne, 2/12/2014" Again, always like Farrah and wanted to know more about her from her best friend, Alana Stewart. This one was about the friendship of Alana and Farrah, but mostly told during the time of her diagnosis and treatment of cancer. "
— Trish, 1/18/2014" As obvious as the title suggests, I was surprised the book was so much of an Alana's autobiography as opposed to information concerning Farrah. My bottom line assessment: Alana is very wrapped up in herself and her recount came off very egotistical and selfish to me. If you're looking for info on Farrah, this is definitely not the right book. You can find better info doing an internet search. "
— Madalene, 12/26/2013" A nice quick read. Well written "
— Helen, 12/15/2013" Even though I knew the outcome of the book, I still found myself riveted until the end. Farrah endured so much and did it with so much diginity of course I still cried at the end. What a great friend Alana was to her and this book is a true testament of their everlasting friendship. "
— Sue, 12/8/2013" Heartbreaking what Farrah went through on this journey. "
— Mkschrag, 10/21/2013" It was a tribute to Farrah and her friendship with Alana Stewart. I think what she went through demonstrates how grateful we should be for what we have. "
— Jeannie, 10/6/2013" A good story about their firendship and how cancer affects the family, patient and caregiver. "
— Monica, 10/6/2013" Read it in one day (that NEVER happens with me!). Excellent true story of friendship and faith! "
— Debbie, 8/2/2013" What I learned from this book is that everything is better with money, but cancer will still kill you anyway. It's really all about how much grace you have as you approach the end. Nice pictures, but a bit self-focused on the author's struggles, and money issues. "
— Julie, 6/15/2013" I loved getting a glimpse into the alternative treatments Farrah tried, but Alana Stewart is not very smart. Some of her statements about life, etc literally made me laugh, and they weren't meant to be funny. "
— Elliott, 2/22/2013" Was always a Farrah "fan". But this story was amazing...hurt my heart to read. "
— Lynne, 10/2/2012" Great companion to the documentary. Easy to read, difficult subject. Very insightful. "
— Amy, 2/14/2012" Excellent book on friendship. Yes the overall story is sad Farrahs journey at the end but Alana tells the story so simply and true. They really had a unique and deep bond that lasted more then 30 years. After reading it made me appreciate all my friends that much more. "
— Rose, 9/14/2011" This book was touching as it was heartbreaking. Farrah endured more than one should with this terrible illness. She was an American icon who will not be soon forgotten. "
— Shelley, 4/24/2011" A story of a special friendship through a long and hard battle with cancer. What a blessing it would be to have a friendship like Farrah and Alana had. "
— Teri, 10/3/2010" Good read about the journal Alana kept through Farrah's brave battle of treatment for her cancer. Very personal account; what a loving friendship they had. "
— Betty, 10/1/2010" A true tearjerker. I don't know that I would have as much strength to endure what Farrah went through. "
— Katherine, 8/7/2010" I thought it was exploitive. "
— Patti, 4/4/2010" I guess I was expecting something like Faye Resnick's book (BLECH!!), but I was surprised to find that this is a very good book. "
— Michele, 2/17/2010" It was a very good book - very touching story. "
