Publisher Description

Sharon Osbourne reveals the truth behind the headlines in her characteristically frank, intimate and articulate memoir-from her childhood as the daughter of Don Arden, to managing and marrying Ozzy Osbourne, to her rising fame on shows such as The Osbournes and The X Factor.

A devoted wife and mother, businesswoman, TV star and award-winning producer, Sharon Osbourne has, in her own words, "lived fifty lives in fifty years". Her childhood with her father, the notorious rock manager Don Arden, was an unruly mix of glamour and violence. In her late 20s, Sharon finally made the painful decision to break with her family. Always irrepressible, Sharon flourished, creating a loving family of her own while becoming a legendary manager and rock band promoter.

In rock star Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon found her soul mate, yet Ozzy's drug and drink-fueled excesses-which culminated in his attempt to strangle her-made their marriage a white-knuckle ride from the start. Only her devotion to their three children gave her the will to survive.

From the tremendous highs of the hit show The Osbournes to the devastating lows of Ozzy's near-fatal quad-bike accident and her own bout with colon cancer, Sharon's tenacity, honesty, and humor have triumphed again and again.

"I always wondered how she could be married to Ozzy, she always seemed like the stable one. Boy, she's was raised with a dysfunctional family. I really have much respect for Sharon and how hard she worked to make Ozzy's career what it was. In a lot of ways her back ground reminds me of my own mother. I love her honesty. You can tell how much she loves her kids and Ozzy."

    " This was a wild ride of a book. Her life is definitely not conventional. Interesting book but not one I would recommend to many people - language throughout is very strong. But there does seem to be a lot of character strength - she is definitely a take charge person. Her life pre-Ozzie was just as crazy as her life with Ozzie. Talk about dysfunctional!!! Will be interesting to see how the children turn out. "

    " Interesting. Sharon's father was a music manager and that is how she met Ozzie, as her father was managing his band. They seem to have had a crazy relationship as Ozzie was on the road, cheating and drinking. Lots of drama in Sharon's life with her relationship with Ozzie and her father. "
