From New York Times culture reporter Dave Itzkoff, the definitive biography of Robin Williams â?? a compelling portrait of one of Americaâ??s most beloved and misunderstood entertainers.
Robin krankt am Menschsein, schon seit der Kindheit. Um der Depression zu entfliehen, unternimmt sie eine Reise in die Bretagne, wo sie auf die selbstsichere Estelle und den stets h flichen Louis trifft. Beide Beziehungen heilen und verletzen die Protagonistin zugleich. Erf llt von Suizidgedanken zieht sich Robin schliesslich zur ck, campiert zwischen Ginster und Felsen und betrachtet die bretonischen Landschaften und das unwegsame Gel nde in ihrem Inneren.
She was, in everyday terms, a gold digger, but she liked to think she had a good heart. Maybe she didn't though. Maybe in latching onto the idea she could become more than stupid Parker Rousch, the thought she could be in the stories Martina had told about her brother, maybe at that moment she'd lost what heart she had. Because fairytales didn't happen in real life and girls that daydreamed about falling in love with Prince Charming via entertainment magazines were sure to be disappointed. Twenty-two year old cartoonist Parker Rousch dropped out of college and moved to Florida to chase an impossible dream - to meet billionaire Robin Spelding. She's spent hours, days, daydreaming about living the rich life, devouring everything there is to know about him. Landing a nearby job at a well-known editorial newspaper came as a huge break. Never mind, it's the competition, the owner with a beef against her fantasy man. Robin Spelding went from a boy walking to school, picked on by bullies, to the man he is today through determination and hard work. Running one of the largest security companies in the nation, having clients like Atlas Bellamy, has put him on the map. He is somebody now with the power to have anything he wants, including a taste for married women. But when cute, perky Parker drops into his life, his secret trysts prove to be far more public than he knew and the man he's become, ugly and sordid. Changing his public reputation is possible with her by his side, though, and maybe sharing a piece of his heart as well. Unless the danger that brought them together, an overheard threat at her place of employment, snuffs out their promising future. Book 5 in the BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB series by best-selling author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS. 23,000 words.
"I am not sure what I am an example of-or to," he said, on one occasion, in his light, rather cold and detached way, "which is why I at times regard myself in that capacity with a slightly ribald lightness." A reckless young woman once asked him: "Are you as wicked as people say you are?" "I really don't know. It is so difficult to decide," he answered. "Perhaps I am as wicked as I know how to be. And I may have painful limitations or I may not." He had reached the age when it was safe to apply to him that vague term "elderly," and marriage might have been regarded as imperative.
