Unlike her 1995 autobiography,After All,her second book is less about life as an
award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病).All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF),an organization she serves as international chairman."I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture,but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
与她1995年自传不同的是,终究,她的第二本书较少地谈及了作为一个备受赞誉的女演员的生涯,而更多地提到与糖尿病斗争的生活.所有这本书售出的钱都为青少年糖尿病研究基金会筹集,她是该组织的国际主席.“我觉得需要一本像这样的书,”她说.“我不是想做演讲,但是我想让其他的糖尿病患者知道,当我们自我控制并且为控制该疾病尽到我们的力量时,一切都在好转.”
