Description

A memoir by award-winning actor Mena Suvari, best-known for her iconic roles in American Beauty, American Pie, and Six Feet Under.

The Great Peace is a harrowing, heartbreaking coming-of-age story set in Hollywood, in which young teenage model-turned-actor Mena Suvari lost herself to sex, drugs, and bad, often abusive relationships even as blockbuster movies made her famous. It's about growing up in the '90s, with a soundtrack ranging from The Doors to Deee-Lite, fashion from denim to Day-Glo, and a woman dealing with the lasting psychological scars of abuse, yet knowing deep inside she desires so much more from life.

Within this vulnerable book, Mena not only reveals her own mistakes but also the lessons she learned and her efforts to understand and grow rather than casting blame. As such, she makes this a timeless story of girl empowerment and redemption, of somebody using their voice to rediscover their past, seek redemption, and to understand their mistakes, and ultimately come to terms with their power as an individual to find a way and a will to live - and thrive. Poignant, intimate, and powerful, this book will resonate with anyone who has found themselves lost in the darkness, thinking there's no way out. Ultimately, Mena's story proves that, no matter how hopeless it may seem, there's always a light at the end.

Heavy

It’s hard to put 5 stars to a painful recount of years of abuse. It’s easy to put 5 stars to Menas’ incredible bravery and resilience to tell her story and likely help many people find their way back to themselves. This was a hard book to listen to at times. One can’t imagine how horrific a life such as hers. It’s one that has a positive outcome, back to herself.

Inspiring

As someone born the same year as Mena (1979), it was easy to imagine walking through these different chapters of her life with the cultural backdrops of each decade. The stories Mena shares about her life experience are woven together seamlessly with poetry in between. I found her sharing to be incredibly well articulated, authentic and incredibly brave. She lends a voice to so many of us who have experienced trauma, but felt shamed into silence. Loved this book from start to finish.

This book is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

Mena's memoir has helped me make sense of my own life. If you are struggling in your life whatever your age, read or listen to this book. Her writing is poetic, and her truth is raw and humble. Thank-you Mena, for your candor!
