Summary

<p>Throughout her celebrated career as an actress, from her film debut as a Bond Girl to her starring role in the beloved television series <i>Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,</i> and during the winding course of her life, Jane Seymour has been a testament to the rewards of embracing life's challenges eagerly and gracefully. Speaking from fifty-two years of experience with both joy and heartache, she firmly believes that "when we allow ourselves to see all changes as remarkable, some extraordinary things can happen to us."</p> <p>Rich in lived wisdom, <i>Remarkable Changes</i> revolves around seven signposts of change -- stops we all visit, and perhaps revisit, on the turbulent voyage of life. Jane reflects on the life-altering events of her past and on their universal lessons. While candidly recounting her own defining moments of turmoil -- rejection, betrayal, divorce, near bankruptcy, and near-death experiences among them -- she introduces extraordinary men and women who have courageously navigated the most formidable changes, from the loss of a child to sudden blindness, as well as those who have made incredible changes happen against the odds.</p> <p>Drawing on her own life and the shining examples of others -- including her indomitable mother, a native of Holland who was held in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II; her husband, James Keach, who restored her faith in love and trust in men after a painful divorce; and her "soul mate," Christopher Reeve, who won her heart in the cult classic <I>Somewhere in Time</i> -- she offers a wealth of guidance for successfully managing any journey of transition.</p> <p>Heartfelt and uplifting, <i>Remarkable Changes</i> is a welcome companion that will help us find the true value in our life's passages.</p>
