THE PRINCESS DIARIST

Carrie Fisher kept a journal during the filming of the first Star Wars movie. When she discovered them decades later, she was astonished to see what they had preserved: plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naivité, and a vunlerability that she barely recognized. Now, in time for the release of Star Wars 8 in December 2017, she remembers what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time. Hilarious, wise and candid, this is an introspection of a young woman's diary and a look into stardom that few will ever experience.

Carrie Fisher, that most idiosyncratic of Hollywood stars, again explores her life as the child of Tinseltown royalty, her adventures as Princess Leia, and her misadventures as Bi-Polar Woman of the Year--with another series of hilarious, jaw-dropping and interconnected autobiographical essays.

Carrie Fisher, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, became an icon when she starred as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy. Her star-studded career includes roles in numerous films such as The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally. She is the author of five bestselling novels, including POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, which was made into a hit film starring Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep. Fisher's experience with addiction and mental illness—and her willingness to speak honestly about them—have made her a sought-after speaker and respected advocate.
