I did a book signing when we were in New York the day before yesterday. A lady came through and she was just weeping, and said, 'I wish this would have been brought out sooner, my sister is in prison for suffocating her child.'
I think a lot of women do hide it out of shame. It is supposed to be the happiest time in your life after giving birth to a child, you know.
These champions have overcome more than many of us can even imagine. Each story testifies of the strength of these kids and the outstanding caregivers who have changed their lives.
I am happy. I have a wonderful marriage. I was in a not-great second marriage for 20 years, then I fell in love with Steve, my first husband, again, and we remarried. I wore the dress from our first wedding in 1982 - it was tight, but I could get into it.
I never had a sister growing up. Donny was the closest thing.
When I look in the mirror, I see my late mother: I have her nose, her dark eyes - I call them chocolate eyes - I have her colouring, and my hair is greying the same way, although I use colour and she didn't.
