For thirty years, Farrah Fawcett and Alana Stewart were friends, and in that time they'd been through it all. But in the fall of 2006, a test of their friendship arose unlike any other they'd faced: Farrah's cancer diagnosis.

Together, Farrah and Alana were relentless in their pursuit of a cure, and in these intimate and personal diaries, Alana shares her thoughts on the journey she and Farrah embarked upon as they battled this illness to the end. From the importance of selflessness to the undeniable value of faith, Alana's diary entries demonstrate how, even in the face of this debilitating disease, Farrah continued to teach everyone around her about the courage and power of friendship.

With candid stories about aging, marriage, motherhood, and faith—all topics Alana and Farrah laughed and cried about over the years—My Journey with Farrah provides a moving tribute to Hollywood's golden girl and an inspiring celebration of Farrah's life.

It wouldn’t have been such a big deal except that Sunday was the only day he had to spend with me and the kids because he was in the studio all week. It became a big issue in our marriage. Now, I look back and think, “Why did I let it bother me so much? Why didn’t I just let him do what made him happy and not take it so personally?” I always end up with men who are completely self-centered and then try to change them, and when I

after a recording session. As it became a regular occurrence, I became angrier because it was so different from the way things had been in the beginning. We’d been so wrapped up in each other, so madly in love in the first couple of years of our relationship, and when it began to slowly change, I desperately tried to hold on to what it had been. Now, of course, I know that’s never possible. Relationships always evolve and change. But I didn’t understand that at the time; neither of us did. We

much out of it on the pain medication. She couldn’t really get her words out, and I didn’t want her to struggle trying to talk to me. I could see by her eyes that she wanted to communicate, but she couldn’t. I kissed her gently on the forehead and told her to sleep and I left. Honestly, I couldn’t have stayed any longer. I’ve been refusing to give up on that possible miracle, but tonight the chances seemed very remote. I felt sad, discouraged, and even a little hopeless. Where is my dogged
