Found: A Daughter’s Journey Home

Since the release of her bestselling memoir A Paper Life in which she exposed dark family secrets as well as the literal and figurative highs and lows of life as an addict-Tatum O'Neal has tackled her demons head-on. Now, finally 100% sober, she returns with this follow-up memoir in which she tells what it has taken to pull her life together, make peace with her children, and forge a fragile peace with her estranged father, Ryan O'Neal, after twenty-five years of public and private feuding.

With candor and grace, Tatum chronicles the challenges and joys of being a mother, an ex-wife, and a single, middle-aged actress looking for her next paycheck. She speaks frankly about the difficulties she faced in beating her addictions and staying sober. She details the ongoing effort to negotiate friends, family, aging, money, love, loss, and Hollywood, while the specter of her past always lurks, a reminder of her struggle and testament to her will to survive. She’s done the hard work to get her life on track, come to terms with the person she is, and now shares her whole story.
