Already a bestseller in England, Guinness's memoir is less autobiography than fond recollections of the many friends ("blessings") he has accumulated in his long theatrical career. In loosely organized chapters, most centered around one of the major influences in his life (e.g., Sybil Thorndike, John Gielgud), Guinness wanders back and forth through time. The threads of Guinness's own career, marriage, and religious searching wind through these chapters in an amusingly self-deprecatory way. He describes his career as a naval officer during World War II as "the best performance I have given," in a chapter full of hilarious and hair-raising episodes. Sharp imagery and marvelous word portraits make this a charming book of English theatrical lore.

There had to be a middle ground. After one night on the town with Kevin Anderson, Lisa Malorey knew she was falling in love. Kevin was handsome, intelligent and compassionate, and his dedication to his work matched her own. That was the problem. As a senator, Kevin sought to curb excessive government spending. As an astronaut, Lisa felt just as strongly that nothing -- no one -- should hold back funds that would jeopardize the space program. Equally passionate, they could not compromise their convictions. Yet both knew they must find a way. Theirs was no ordinary love, but one destined to last today, tomorrow, always.
