This groundbreaking and deeply moving book chronicles Amy’s journey of confronting her painful past to embrace the truth of who she is today. In a heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, Amy reflects on how facing her deepest trauma has freed her from chasing perfection and achievement for validation, allowing her to find peace within herself. Amy details the moment she awakened to the buried memories of her past—a revelation that ultimately set her on a path to healing. Amy takes questions from the audience as she shares how the telling of her story has deepened her connection with herself and those around her. For this conversation, Amy and Oprah are joined by a live audience enjoying the seasonal Starbucks ® Anniversary Blend coffee in a Starbucks café in Chicago, Illinois.
