From the Back Cover

Academy Award^(R)-winning actress Tatum O'Neal returns with an extraordinary chronicle of family, forgiveness, redemption, and commitment--a remarkable story told with honesty, humility, determination, and, above all, love

In A Paper Life, Tatum O'Neal shared her poignant, painful experiences of growing up in--and away from--a dysfunctional show-business family. Now, in Found, she digs even deeper and explores the tough issues that resonate in most women's lives.

Found is a story about learning to understand what forgiveness really means--physically, emotionally, and spiritually--and how to live it every day. With candor and grace, Tatum chronicles the challenges and joys of being a single mother, an ex-wife, a working actress who has lived her life in the public eye. She speaks frankly about the persistence it took to beat her addictions to drugs and alcohol, and the hard work of staying clean and sober. Found is also a father-daughter love story; a portrait of a fragile, tentative reconciliation between a parent and a child who try to heal the hurt and pain of a lifetime.

Tatum O'Neal has done the hard work necessary to get her life on track. Her moving and inspirational saga reminds us all that no matter what, we must keep moving forward to the light and the future, step by step, day by day. Only then may we find the true path home.
