Description
'Toast. You know when you're trying to make it and you just can't get it right? It's too light or too soft, then totally burnt. Do you try to scrape off the black? Do you throw it away or do you just eat it? Up until now, I ate the burnt toast ... then I hit forty.'
The best-selling inspirational memoir from your favourite desperate housewife.
It took Teri Hatcher a divorce, the experience of single motherhood, a parade of bad dates, a stalled career and a memorable fortieth birthday to realize that she didn't want to spend another decade preparing herself for the next disaster.
Burnt Toast is the heartfelt, funny, poignant and inspiring account of Teri's jagged route to happiness. Teri reveals her life in unexpected ways, in the hopes of keeping other women from eating the burnt toast, and explains why you'll never get a second chance if you don't open yourself up to the possibility.

You get a real sense of who Teri is and you really like her for it. Self-deprecating, funny, honest and constantly working on herself, her book says to the rest of us 'This is what I'm learning about living as a single mother, woman, human being - maybe you'll find it useful, too.' And you do.'

Person
Born and raised in California, Teri Hatcher got into show business when she accompanied a friend to an audition for The Love Boat. After roles on MacGyver and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, she fell out of the public eye only to return as Susan Mayer on the huge ABC hit Desperate Housewives. She won a Golden Globe and a SAG award for her performance, as well as widespread adoration, before the show's first season was even over. She lives in Los Angeles.
