Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Publisher's Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the global phenomenon that tells an unforgettable story of love, loss, and healing.
“Compellingly artful . . . [a] blockbuster memoir.”—The New Yorker (Best Books of the Year)
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.
For Harry, this is that story at last.
Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was known as the carefree one, the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness—and, because he blamed the press for his mother’s death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight.
At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home. But he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and prone to crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn’t find true love.
Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple’s cinematic romance and rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Watching his wife suffer, their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw no other way to prevent the tragedy of history repeating itself but to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try, in fact, had been his mother. . . .
For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.
What the critics say
“Unflinching, introspective, and well-written.” —Time
“Compellingly artful . . . [a] blockbuster memoir.” —The New Yorker
“A scorching account of life in a golden cage.” —The Atlantic

Loved it! I was surprised at how great Harry is at narrating his own story. I also admired how honest and heartfelt the entire story was. Even when the naysayers and paps have their say in the review section, ignore it all and listen/read for yourself!!

Prince Harry is my spirit animal
An ex-pat Brit living in Canada for 25 years, there are reasons I left the place I was born and grew up: emotional repression; institutional racism; and misogeny were major factors. I genuinely thought those things were changing in the UK, but it appears not at an institutional level at least.
I started this out of straight-up curiosity and continued because of the honesty, vulnerability, eloquence, humour, insightfulness, compassion, and frankly the intelligence of the voice telling the story. I'm sure Harry Wales had a damn good editor, yet I heard my own experiences echoed at every step. He demonstrates critical thinking skills and vocabulary that are mocked in the British media and sometimes by my own friends and family.
Everyone has their own story, and this one speaks truth to power in a way that clearly upsets the ones with the power. That is commonly what happens with whiatle blowers. I've been that elephant in the room and the voice of someone who simply doesn't care anymore about the class and social contracts that keep the status quo. This absolutely spoke to my own experience: as a feminist, as a queer person, and as someone who, sadly, chose to live in a different culture when the weight of their own became intolerable.
If nothing else, it's simply a fantastic listen, and I loved that it's Harry telling his own story and not flinching away from any aspect. Bravo and thank you.

Wow!
I knew it would be an interesting story, but this blew my expectations out of water. Harry was relatable as a human and really was able to explain why things happened the way they did. I had sympathy for him prior to reading this book, but now I see how unbearable his life became. I hope he and his family enjoy their fresh start. This has to be one of the best autobiographies I have ever read.

A tragic story wonderfully told
I feared this story would be a trivial waste of time. I was pleasantly but sadly surprised. It was well written and placed. The narration was personal and professional at the same time. It provides some agonizing insight into the British monarchy and royal family.
