Non-Fiction Biography
Alana Stewart and Farrah Fawcett went through it all
together. Friends for thirty years, they were an essential
part of each other's lives since first meeting at a dinner
party in the 1970s. During that time, they supported each
other through the trials of Hollywood life while also
raising their families, keeping in close contact.
But in the fall of 2006, a test of their friendship arose
unlike any other they'd faced: Farrah was diagnosed with
aggressive rectal cancer. She was determined to fight, and
Alana was determined to help her. Together, they were
relentless in their pursuit of a cure, traveling halfway
around the world as they sought every mainstream,
alternative, and experimental therapy available. In all,
they spent the better part of the next three years together
- Alana by her friend's side as they struggled hand in hand
with the unknown. Now, in these intimate and
personal diaries, Alana shares her thoughts on the events of
the last three years, documenting the journey she and Farrah
embarked on as they prayed for a miracle. Reflecting back on
the three decades they shared, Alana details what she's
learned about her friend and herself as they battled through
the trials of this illness. From the importance of
selflessness, to the undeniable value of faith, to the
remarkable resilience of the human spirit, Alana's
day-to-day entries reveal a side of these two friends that
the world has never seen. Even in the face of this
debilitating disease, Farrah's courage and determination
continues to teach us about life . . . and love.
Writing candidly about aging, marriage, motherhood, and
faith--all topics she and Farrah dealt with together over
the years - Alana provides a moving tribute to a woman, once
Hollywood's golden girl, and an inspiring celebration of
life. My Journey with Farrah is the story of two courageous
women who stood by each other through good times, bad times,
and now the most trying of times. It is a book that will
make people laugh, cry, and rejoice in the power of
friendship.
