On the surface Mary Weiland had a fairy tale life. She was a successful
model married to a successful rock star--Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet
Revolver frontman Scott Weiland--and a world traveler with a home and
two beautiful children. But it wasn't until her rampage in a Los Angeles
hotel room and the resulting media frenzy that the world got a glimpse
into Mary's inner turmoil, self-destructive behavior, bipolar disorder,
and drug abuse.
In Fall to Pieces, she reveals the extreme highs and lows of her life,
the volatilty of which long hinted at her bipolar disorder. Weiland
tells her story with refreshing candor, unflinching detail, and more
than a little humor. Reminiscent of celebrity memoirs from Tatum
O'Neill, Brooke Shields and Valerie Bertinelli, Weiland offers a window
into the world of modeling and rock'n'roll celebrity while at the same
time providing deep insights into a serious and misunderstood mental
illness.
Co-written with veteran journalist Larkin Warren, Fall to Pieces is a
blistering, eye-opening memoir of Hollywood meltdown.
