Publisher Description
Award-winning journalist, television personality, and author, Maria Celeste Arrarás shares advice through personal reflections.
In spite of the difficult obstacles she has confronted in her life, María Celeste Arrarás has been able to move forward and triumph against all odds as a woman, a mother, and a professional. Through a series of autobiographical anecdotes, María shares with her fans the formula to achieve fame, fortune, and emotional fulfillment, all at the same time.
María tells of the lessons she learned from her parents’ divorce, the adoption of one of her sons in Russia and the abuse that her other son suffered at the hands of a nanny. She talks about the betrayal of her unfaithful husband and making peace with the “other woman.” And she reveals how her personal assistant stole her identity and thousands of dollars in the midst of her divorce.
Make Your Life Prime Time is funny and moving, inspiring and powerful. It’s a lesson on the power of forgiveness and the importance of striving for excellence.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Determination and drive were critical to the success of Telemundo/NBC talk show host Arranas, the secrets to which she shares in this empowering self-help memoir. Offering breezy but sincere advice rooted in her own challenges, including a dictatorial father and two broken marriages of her own. Her first, foundational lesson is independence: "Love shouldn't be the sole master of your destiny." Arranas insists that women must always be able to take care of themselves financially, preserve their integrity and avoid mediocrity while sharing the personal stories that brought her to the conclusion-including a cheating husband and a personal assistant who stole thousands of dollars from her. Her methods for coping, learning and moving on are her most important lessons, warning readers that "ignorance is not bliss but rather a brutal teacher." Advice aside, this celebrity memoir is obviously aimed at an audience already familiar with her TV persona, and makes an entertaining, if light, read.
