520    An inspirational book about life and its lessons from the 
       Golden Globe and Emmy nominated star of NBC's This Is 
       Us.When This Is Us debuted in fall 2016, a divided America
       embraced a show that celebrates human connection. The 
       critically acclaimed series became America's most watched&
       #8212;and most talked about—network show, even 
       building on its fan base in the drama's second season. As 
       Kate Pearson, Chrissy Metz presents a character that has 
       never been seen on television, yet viewers see themselves 
       in her, no matter what they look like or where they come 
       from. Considered a role model just for being her authentic
       self, Chrissy found herself on magazine covers and talk 
       shows, walking red carpets, and as the subject of endless 
       conversations on social media "I don't know what you've 
       been through to play her," she is often told by fans, "but
       it was something."In This is Me, Chrissy Metz shares her 
       story with a raw honesty that will leave readers both 
       surprised but also inspired. Infused with the same 
       authenticity she brings to her starring role, Chrissy's 
       This is Me is so much more than your standard Hollywood 
       memoir or collection of personal essays. She embraces the 
       spirit of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes, and shares how she 
       has applied the lessons she learned from both setbacks and
       successes. A born entertainer, Chrissy finds light in even
       her darkest moments, and leaves the reader feeling they 
       are spending time with a friend who gets it.Chrissy Metz 
       grew up in a large family, one that always seemed to be 
       moving, and growing. Her father disappeared one day, 
       leaving her mother to work a series of menial jobs and his
       children to learn to live with the threat of hunger and 
       the electricity being cut off. When her mother remarried, 
       Chrissy hoped for "normal" but instead experienced a form 
       of mental pain that seemed crafted just for her. The boys 
       who showed her attention did so with strings attached as 
       well, and Chrissy accepted it, because for her, love 
       always came with conditions.When she set out for Los 
       Angeles, it was the first time she had been away from her 
       family and from Florida. And for years, she got barely an 
       audition. So how does a woman with the deck stacked 
       against her radiate such love, beauty and joy? This too is
       at the heart of This is Me.With chapters that alternate 
       from autobiographical to instructional, Chrissy offers 
       practical applications of her hard-won insights in a 
       series of "Bee Mindful" interstitials. There she invites 
       you to embrace gratitude in "Say Thank You" or to be 
       honest with your partner and yourself in "The Shrouded 
       Supreme." Blending love and experience, Chrissy encourages
       us all to claim our rightful place in a world that may be 
       trying to knock us down, find our own unique gifts, and 
       pursue our dreams.
