Now You Know
reviewed on + 60 more book reviews


IN NOW YOU KNOW, KITTY DUKAKIS SPEAKS HER MIND WITH THE SAME UNCOMPROMISING COURAGE AND CANDOR THAT CHARACTERIZED HER APPEARANCES THROUGHOUT 1988 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN..SHE WRITES UNFLINCHINGLY ABOUT HER CHILDHOOD AND THE REALITIES OF POLITICAL LIFE AND REVEALS HER ONGOING STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME HER PROBLEM OF DEPRESSION AND THE ATTENDANT ADDICTION TO ALCOHOL AND PILLS. AN OPEN ENDED STORY, MOVING IN ITS ABSOLUTE HONESTY, IT IS A LOOK INTO THE PRIVATE ADVERSITIES OF A PUBLIC PERSON, WHOSE PROBLEMS WILL STRIKE A NOTE OF INSTANT RECOGNITION IN COUNTLESS READERS
A HEARTFELT ATTEMPT TO TELL AN HONEST AND MOVING CAUTIONARY TALE ABOUT ALCOHOLISM, DRUG ABUSE AND DEPRESSION..LIKELY TO HELP OTHERS
