David Carradine, The Eye of My Tornado by Marina Anderson:
David Carradine - a world icon, had a volatile, dark and brilliant personality. His acting career spanned four decades on stage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the '70s hit television series Kung Fu. Further cementing his icon status, he starred in the classic movies Death Race 2000, Bound for Glory and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, which vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list.

David Carradine died in a Bangkok hotel room, on June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.

As his personal manager, Anderson was responsible for Carradine's career resurgence that lifted him from a has-been drunk to restoring his legacy as a sober "A lister", culminating in landing the plum role in Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill.

Anderson exposes it all: Carradine's alcohol addiction, "dark side" and "deviant behaviour", including incest, which contributed to the destruction of their marriage. She shares their lives together, his slide back into alcohol, and his ultimate demise. It is a complex story of two souls, two spirits intertwined. Anderson writes with candor, humor, and doesn't hold back as she recounts their most intimate moments. This memoir will take us on a journey of personal healing through Marina Anderson's life, from the abuse she suffered in her early years, to David and Marina's six-year relationship, three of which they were married and beyond their divorce. It was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Reader's experience first hand a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of celebrity life in the fast lane including Marina's relationships with rocker Don Henley and actor Dabney Coleman.

Anderson also recounts their inability to have children and their IVF attempts, and how others can benefit from her experience as well as metaphysics, psychics, astrologers, numerologists and how they played a part in her support system. Revealed readings, including one with famed clairvoyant, John Edward. Also included in the book are selected funny, poignant and profound stories from friends and people who worked with Carradine.

This personal account represents Marina's final therapy, her way to get rid of the demons that have haunted her for so long -- the struggle to regain her "self" back while trying to save her marriage -- Her heart rendering, empowering struggle of overcoming obstacles to a healthier life.
