Product Description
As she closes the door on her stunningly successful television show, Rosie O' Donnell opens her heart to the share the amazing experience that changed her life forever. Comedian. Actress. Talk-show host. Producer. Benefactor. Editorial Director. Mother. Friend. Rosie O' Donnell has worn many hats. Now she takes a new role--as a gifted writer and the author of a surprising and powerful memoir, FIND ME. "The whole world changed with just one phone call...I met Stacie for the first time in May. Her voice was meek and flat on the phone. She wasn't crying but I heard it, the unmistakable sound of desperation. That was the first call, the single call that would change my life, and hers too, probably forever. I work for a non-profit adoption agency in New Jersey. I fund their operation, provide outreach services, and they do the work. Finding families for kids who need them is beyond fulfilling, it is addictive. I like to help. I need to help. I help a lot, sometimes too much. This is a true story about a girl named Stacie who called the adoption agency with a terrible problem. A lot of it won't make sense, at least logically. But sometimes sense runs deeper than logic. Nothing happens by chance. The events that follow, some dark and painful, changed me absolutely."--Rosie O' Donnell

 Touching Book to say the least! December 29, 2007
I laughed, I cried, I felt like it was a story parrallel to my own. Came out of this book feeling like I knew Rosie and was so touched at how she was able to describe feelings that actually made you understand her joys and pains. This was one of the best reads in a long time for me. I am in the midst of Celebrity Detox but I am not finding it as hard to put down as Find Me was.
 What was that? November 27, 2007

I bought this book at the dollar store and I think it was overpriced. I can't believe anyone published this book. It is like reading someone's story of a dream they had. It is confusing and it is just a dream so, who cares. Why would you want to read about it? I like Rosie, but I think you are missing nothing if you skip this book. I thought it would be a kind of bio, but it wasn't that at all. It was strange, and not even in an interesting way.
 I will spare you the trouble of reading it November 25, 2007
O'Donnell is contacted by a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder who pretends to be an abused, pregnant teenager who was raped by a youth minister. O'Donnell deeply identifies with her, which makes you wonder if she was molested by someone in her church. She ferociously bonds with this woman, even when she finds out the girl doesn't exist and the real woman is someone like her now. She still corresponds with this woman. This story is woven between scattered memories of her mother. We all lose our mother sooner or later, and the ones who lost her sooner suffer more, but you shouldn't drag it through the rest of your life like a crutch. Still, O'Donnell became rich and famous and can now support that crutch in grand style. Those of us not rich and famous just have to snap out of it. And that's it. It's not a biography because the glimpses of her journey to fame are too brief and disconnected. It's a depressing book.
I give it two for being a compelling read... October 19, 2007
but Rosie O'Donnel is a nutjob. She has serious issues. The fact that she flew this clinically insane woman out to NYC for a meet n' greet says loads about her own insanity. I had the heebie jeebies after reading this book. Rosie - you need therapy. And if you're already in therapy, you need to fire your shrink and get a better one.
Entertaining enough to be made into a movie! October 15, 2007
I really enjoyed this book. It goes deep inside the mind, & expresses how we think at times. I don't believe that the book got enough good press years ago. It is definately great enough to be made into a movie! I got the audio version & loved to hear Rosie read this in her own voice and give her imitations. Terrific.
