On the surface Mary Weiland had a fairy tale life. She was a successful model‚ married to a successful rock star -- Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland -- and a world traveler with a home and two beautiful children. But‚ it wasn't until her rampage in a Los Angeles hotel room and the resulting media frenzy that the world got a glimpse into Mary's inner turmoil‚ self destructive behavior‚ bipolar disorder‚ and drug abuse.
In FALL TO PIECES‚ she reveals the extreme highs and lows of her life‚ the volitilty of which long hinted at her bipolar disorder. Working with veteran collaborator Allen Rucker‚ Weiland tells her story with refreshing candor‚ unflinching detail‚ and more than a little humor. Reminiscent of celebrity memoirs from Tatum O'Neill‚ Brooke Shields and Valerie Bertinelli‚ Weiland offers a window into the world of modeling and rock'n'roll celebrity while at the same time providing deep insights into a serious and misunderstood mental illness.
