Publisher Notes
To the world, Audrey Hepburn was the epitome of elegance and grace. With a fragile radiance, she restyled Hollywood glamour, becoming an icon of dignity and goodness. But to her son, she was much more--a woman who invested her heart and soul in the most cherished role of a lifetime. Here, in this intimate memoir, that son remembers his mother, with love.
Here is Audrey Hepburn the forgiving daughter who reconciled with a father she never knew; the insecure actress who attributed her extraordinary success to the talents of others; the selfless ambassador of UNICEF who devoted the last years of her life to fighting for the rights of children around the world; and the mother whose graciousness toward strangers, genuine caring for family and friends, and boundless enthusiasm for the simple joys in life gave blessing to everyone who shared them with her.
In defining beauty, Audrey Hepburn loved to quote a favorite poem written by a friend: "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes seek out the good in people." Sean Hepburn Ferrer has done just that, as only a son can, in this one-of-a-kind tribute that resonates with the warmth and compassion of the unique lady herself.
