Dancing On Glass [Hardcover]

Dancing on Glass is the brutally honest and often painful account of Newhart's life long struggle with isolation, obesity, and sexual perversion. He managed to achieve academic success-while falling inexorably into alcoholism, drug addiction and increasingly difficult bouts with mania and depression. But this is also a story of recovery and hope! With the help of therapists, rehabs, 12 step programs, and supportive friends and lovers, Newhart eventually learned to love himself--he broke the strangleholds of addictions, overeating and mental illness, and has been living an imperfect but stable and fulfilling life for the last two decades.
