NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this revealing and exciting memoir, Shirley MacLaine reflects on the turning points of her life and her spiritual journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Outspoken, controversial, talented, and perceptive, Shirley MacLaine takes us on an intimate and fascinating personal odyssey. In 1984 she won an Oscar, starred on Broadway, wrote the bestselling Out on a Limb—and turned fifty years old. At this special time, in this special year, she was now ready to resume the spiritual journey she had begun in her early forties.

In Dancing in the Light, Shirley bares her innermost self and explores the lives, both past and present, which touched and affected her own. She sheds new light on her loves, her losses, her childhood, her passions, and her inner drives and ambitions. She asks poignant questions and finds surprising answers. She challenges her beliefs and confronts her conflicts. Ultimately, she takes us with her through a life-altering experience that provides a stunning new vision of herself, her future . . . and the fate of our world.
