520 . ‡aTelevision actor and cooking show maven Valerie Bertinelli strips away the polished facade and shares what it's really like to grow older, love harder, and start over. Now in her mid-sixties, [she] reflects on the hard-won lessons of aging, self-worth, and letting go. From her experiences with menopause, relationships, and family trauma, she writes with clarity and compassion about the insecurities that have haunted her for decades: shame and anxiety about her body, and the false belief that her value depended on perfection. Through it all, Valerie reflects on the quiet, daily work of self-acceptance--the kind that doesn't make headlines but changes lives. Getting Naked isn't just a story of survival. It's a reckoning--with her past, her family history, and the generational pain that shaped her. It's about the myths we believe when we're young--about beauty, love, success--and how we carry them until they break us open. It's about unlearning the script that says women must please, endure, and stay silent"-- ‡cProvided by publisher.
