Thank you, Dyan

I appreciate the effort and the energy put into this book by Dyan Cannon. It’s obvious she still carries a torch for Mr. Grant after all these years, and has been trying to understand how it worked and why it then went bad. A lot of us can relate to that having survived divorces, which is true of me, some people have complained about her voice, but that’s her voice and I appreciate that she read it herself. at the point in the story where we learn that Cary took away her dog when her baby was just born, I had to turn it off for a while and recover from that one. It’s hard to give your heart away and keep it safe or heal it when it gets broken. Dyan Cannon’s done a lot of work on her self and I applaud her for that.

Reality; The Ultimate Trip

Dyan Cannon shares rarified memories of an exquisite lifetime and the horrors that can sometimes befall the best of us. What a gift to peer via starlight between dark shadows of an imperfect but irresistible romance. It isn't just any woman that would live this tale, Listen to this author's love in her own radiant manner. What remarkable human beings they were together and apart, and how very lovely Dyan's tender telling.

Fiction ?

Some of information about Cary Grant was new. However the first part of how Cary pursued her and how she kept resisting and putting him off was Twilight Zone material to me. I still enjoyed reading it as I am such a huge fan. He was unique as an actor and a person.

Poignant

This book was excellent. Not exactly what I expected, but very well written from the heart. Eye opening to say the least. I had no idea idea about the inner demons that Cary was dealing with.

Perspectives Aside

Ms. Cannon provides an engaging narration of her years with Mr. Grant. Sounds like a Domme and his submissive and I think she left out a lot such as I did read somewhere Cary Grant was given to administering spankings to discipline his wife. Still, it kept my attention from a psychological perspective as she signed on for this codependent dynamic until she was worn thin.
