All Of Me

were part of daily life. Patsy had become addicted to hedonism and was drowning in a sea of drugs and drink.

Now she is happy and healthy, still acting and running a successful business. All of Me is the fearlessly honest account of how Patsy chose to survive, and in doing so, discovered who she really was.
