Actor and cooking show host Valerie Bertinelli will tell the story of how she learned to love herself in a new memoir, People magazine reports.
Bertinelli’s Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. On a webpage for the book, the publisher says, “Bertinelli returns with a heartfelt look at turning sixty, the futility of finding happiness in numbers on a scale, learning to love herself the way she is today, and tips for a healthier outlook on life.”
Bertinelli gained fame as a teenager with her starring role in the sitcom One Day at a Time, which earned her two Golden Globe awards. She’s now the host of two Food Network programs, Valerie’s Home Cooking and Kids Baking Championship. She wrote two books inspired by her experience as a spokesperson for the weight loss program Jenny Craig: Losing It and Finding It.
The actor told People that her new memoir contains “the most personal, intimate writing I’ve done."
“I explore the things that I have gone through and continue to deal with in getting to where I am today— topics that I think will be familiar to many people—my relationship to food, being a mom, mid-life career changes, aging parents, saying goodbye to loved ones, and asking why the hell have I been so hard on myself for so long,” she said.
Enough Already is scheduled for publication on Jan. 18, 2022.
