Burnt Toast

Teri Hatcher secured her place in Americas heart when she stood up to accept her Golden Globe for Best Actress and declared herself a has-been on national television. That moment showcased her down-to-earth, self-deprecating styleand her frank openness about the ups and downs shes experienced in life and work. But what the world might not have seen that night is that Teris self-acceptance is the hard-won effort of a single mother with all the same struggles most women have to jugglelife, love, bake sale cookies and dying cats. Now, in the hope that her foibles and insights might inspire and motivate other women,Teri opens up about the little moments that have sustained her through good times and bad. From the everyday (the importance of letting your daughter spill her macaroni so she knows its okay to make mistakes) to the rare (a rendez-vous with a humpback whaleand no, he was not a suitor), the message at the heart of Burnt Toastthat happiness and success are choices that we owe it to ourselves to makeis sure to resonate with women everywhere.
