Truth and Dare: A Memoir

By Rona De Ricci

A promising, talented film actor with two leading roles to her name, inexplicably vanished from the public view. "Who's That Girl?" asked a film critic in his article of this title, "what happened?" he wondered. Rona De Ricci, in this candid memoir, answers the questions across a well-marked timeline, refreshingly void of drugs and alcohol sagas.

Her story begins with the splendor of youth, hope, and fast forward to her reinventing herself in an unfamiliar trade and domestic duties. The author takes the reader on her family's adventures and struggles spanning many locations: Los Angeles, Oregon, exotic Costa Rica, homesteading in Idaho, a revival in Italy, and ending in Germany. Blessed with precocious children, De Ricci invites us to her home - a multifunctioning hive - of a middle-class family facing downward mobility. Truth and Dare concludes with a poignant picture of what an alienated parent feels like when their child - their "everything" - turns against and away and how a mother became a disposable service. This book is a personal record with a social view delivering a unique memoir.
