Babylon Confidential
A Memoir of Love, Sex & Addiction
by Claudia Christian
with Morgan Grant Buchanan
"Ivanova is always
right. You will listen to
Ivanova." I was late catching the Babylon 5 bug but once I
did I watched it in reruns and on DVD enough to make up for it and become fan
worthy. I am even more of a fan of
Claudia Christian now after reading this memoir. You are awesome and this will do a lot of
good.
It is a chronological journey
from child to present, from trauma to healing and from addiction to
sobriety. Yeah, that pretty much covers
it. Oh all right.
Claudia hits on disappointment or
trauma to healing and victory multiple times in her life and the story rolls
through this book in waves. Naturally
the lows are self-explanatory but the highs are not always what you would
expect and they paint depth into the image of her character.
One bit that I especially found
interesting and irritating was the casting decision made to replace her in
season 5 of Babylon
5. Turns out that was only one show in a
varied career for her. The B5 fan in me
satisfied I learned of the other struggles to maintain a career and residences
always at the whim of a fickle industry and numerous romances one of which with
a namesake I will disown right now.
I celebrate the victory that is
your book and journey to balance Claudia.. You are sure it's not the Cmdr.
Sinclair method?
Zathros 'No, not the One.'
I recommend this book to anyone
who is allowed to decide what they want to read.
