"I do not merely rise above old wrongs; I deny them their
reality. I sever my connections to darker times and
circumstances. I take people with a fresh eye and an open
heart, as they come to me today. Their old dossiers have
expired. Our new story has yet to be written."
With
the characteristic candor and down-to-earth charm that have
won our admiration and our hearts, Sarah Ferguson The
Duchess of York shares the hard-won lessons that have helped
her work through challenges and lead a simpler, more
fulfilling life. Admired as much for her honest assessment
of her foibles as for her grace in the glare of the media's
spotlight, The Duchess here reveals her most private self.
She shares the truths she has discovered from embracing her
flaws, striving to make every life decision with integrity,
and witnessing the selfless acts of others around her. She
takes on challenges both small and daunting -- from putting
strangers at ease in a social setting to coping with the
death of her beloved best friend; from appreciating the
small wonders of the natural world to protecting private
time with her girls while honoring her many work
commitments. Each lesson springs from a life rich with
disappointments and victories, and each lesson is seasoned
with a healthy dose of humility and warm
wit.
Although her personal struggles have been played
out on the public stage, The Duchess's thoughtful, simple
approach applies to the struggles we all face. Like sharing
a cup of tea with your closest confidante, What I Know Now
offers advice for the everyday as it illuminates the
delightful spirit, undeniable resilience, and trademark
grace under fire of a woman who considers every challenge an
opportunity to learn and grow.
