Overview
- The memoir, released Tuesday, April 14, recounts how Garth mixed alcohol with pills during her 2012 separation, blacked out in an Arizona hotel, and was rushed to a hospital to have her stomach pumped.
- She writes that a couples therapist asked why she would want to be with someone who did not love her, a comment that made her accept the marriage to Peter Facinelli was over after he had told her he wanted a divorce in an RV visit.
- Following the hospital stay, she sought treatment at Canyon Ranch to stabilize and begin a structured path to healing.
- During a 2017 split from husband Dave Abrams, she describes cutting herself with broken glass, says her daughter Luca walked in and helped, and calls the episode a lasting regret.
- Garth says she rebuilt routines, prioritized her three daughters, and established a cooperative co‑parenting relationship with Facinelli as she shifted focus toward forgiveness and reinvention.
