"True Strength: My Journey from Hercules to Mere Mortal--and How Nearly Dying Saved My Life"--actor Kevin Sorbo's compelling true story
On television, as the
star of the popular Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Kevin Sorbo
portrayed an invincible demi god. He relished living the part and
physicians could offer few answers, Sorbo grew increasingly despondent.
What happens when your entire identity vanishes?
True Strength
is the story of how one man faced the unimaginable and ultimately found
the real measure of success. With tongue-in-cheek humor and an
unfailingly candid voice, Sorbo reflects on his childhood in Minnesota,
his early modeling and acting days, and his hard-charging charmed life
in television. He recounts the onset of his stroke symptoms, the
frightening hospitalizations, his battle with depression, and fighting
for a recovery that defied medical expectations. And how through it all,
love conspired to save him from missing out on what matters.
With
this refreshingly honest account of celebrity, personal tragedy, and
the power of letting go, Sorbo aims to blaze a trail for anyone who may
have suffered a serious setback in life and is struggling to find their
way forward.
