Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
I was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, a city which produced one heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano, one middleweight champion, Marvin Hagler, and boxing's most prominent referee, Arthur Mercante. I could not hope to pursue a ring career so I decided to become an actress. After graduating from Wheaton College, I moved to New York City where I took classes at the Uta Hagen/Herbert Berghof Studio. I soon learned that boxing is a far gentler profession than acting and retired from the stage--before stepping one foot on it.
While attending graduate school at Columbia, I became a teacher, a more brutal profession, by the way, than the last two named. I taught, variously, at a yeshiva in Yonkers, a yeshiva in Dorchester, MA, Beaver Country Day School, and Newton College of the Sacred Heart. At Newton College, I taught the history and appreciation of opera and created another course, "Music in the Film." To this day, my twin passions remain opera and movies, and I usually can be found at the Met Opera in Lincoln Center or at the Film Forum on West Houston Street.
Eventually, I grew tired of grading papers, and began conducting extension courses for Pine Manor Junior College and Harvard University's Center for Lifelong Learning. While teaching, I began my writing career. At first, my articles appeared in the Boston underground press and Boston magazine; I wrote everything from movie, music, theatre, and restaurant reviews to interviews with local figures. Later, my articles were published in The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, The New York Times, and in national magazines, including Redbook, Vogue, and Travel + Leisure. In the mid-1980s, I started writing "auto" biographies with, among others, Marilyn Horne, Elizabeth Taylor, Ginger Rogers, Kitty Dukakis, Maureen Stapleton, and QVC Host, Kathy Levine. Oona: Living in the Shadows was my first "bio"graphy and Samuel Ramey: American Bass is my latest.

Nicole

An honest and inspiring memoir.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2006

Verified Purchase

I just finished reading this truly inspiring and amazing story. She survived the tsunami that hit Thailand on December 26, 2004 by clinging to a palm tree for 8 hours all the while her pelvis had been crushed in several places. However, her boyfriend Simon, the love of her life, did not survive.

This woman is honest, hard-working, dedicated, loyal, loving, generous, unselfish, silly, open-minded, gentle. She has such a kind heart. Born under communism in the Czech Republic, she built her own career and became one of the world's top supermodels. She never forgot her roots -- her family and her pure core values. In this book, Petra explains how everything in her life -- all the challenges and all the lessons she learned -- helped her to survive and heal both emotionally and physically from the tsunami.

Petra is donating 100% of her proceeds of this book to a nonprofit organization that she herself started: GIVE2ASIA/HAPPY HEARTS FUND (a tsunami relief fund). So please, go out and buy (don't borrow) Love Always, Petra. You will be amazed and inspired by her story. I promise.

Peace: It's not just for hippies anymore. ~Nicole

Excellent and griping account

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

Petra Nemcova's book about the tsunami is very detailed and gripping. But what I didn't expect in this book was such an interesting account of her life and her love story with Simon Atlee. It surprised and had me riveted to her every word. I wanted to read a survivor's account of the tsunami but I got so much more. I hope she writes another book, which I would surely read, about her work with the Happy Hearts Fund and her life now. The sign of a true good book to me is that I didn't want it to end, and this is one of those times. Excellent, uplifting, and a good read.

One of the most inspiring books I have ever read!

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

I absolutely loved reading this book. As a person who has gone through a traumatic experience in the past I couldn't stop crying while reading it and could relate to all her pain and suffering. I think what makes the book so powerful is the fact that Petra's story is raw and is real. I cannot imagine the pain of losing the love of your life and trying to rebuild your life without that person. I think the book delivers important life lessons that we often never think about such as living in the moment and making the best of every situation. Definitely a must read book!!!

Moving story @}->---

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2005

This book is a must read. It's written really well by Petra Nemcova, the beautiful supermodel caught in the tsnami tradgedy almost a year ago. It recalls everything from her life before hitting the big time, and her relationship with her photographer boyfriend who unfortunately perished in Thailand. It's moving and gripping and you'll shed a tear. She's one brave girl. She was even told that she may never walk again. Go get this and read it. You won't be able to put it down. It will make you appreciate the gifts in your life that you should be grateful for.

Good read

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

I liked the book even more once I learned she donates all the proceeds. I found it to be interesting memoir with parts about her experience of the tsunami thrown in...If I had to say a negative, why I only gave it three stars, because as a reader I thought it would jump from the interesting story part into her philosophical views which kind of took away from it. I am also confused if it was suppose to be a memoir or a love story about her and Simon, in which case I would have left out all the stuff about the Dutch boyfriend...but all in all she is brave to write this and so generous to donate the profits so I hate to be critical at all. Great job and I hope there would be another memoir part two to see what she has done with her life since.

An enjoyable, moving, and inspirational novel.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2005

Verified Purchase

I bought this book over the weekend at the book store after hearing that it was released. I finished it within 2 days because it was such a sincere story and an honest one too. Basically, I just kept on reading. I must admit that it was hard not to shed a tear on some parts of the novel. It was a touching story to tell of such a brave young lady and a loving man, Simon. I admire her for the hardwork and devotion to helping the victims of the Tsunami. Plus, the proceeds of the book goes to charity.

Somewhat disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wanted to read a book on the tragedy of the tsunami, but unfortunately the book is only half that. The first 100 pages are about Petra's life and what she went through as a model. The last 100 pages are about Simon and the tsunami. Not a terrible read, but I could've done without the first 100 pages, they were quite tedious.

Happiness can be found within

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have come across this book randomly long time ago but recently when myself experienced loss although on a different level I finally decided to read it. Petra's life how different to mine, yet we are all in the same position when facing tragedy. This book is a beautiful account for love and loss at the same time. I so much symphatise and I cried endless tears reading this book, which again reminded me how life is fragile and we should not be blinded by things which seem so little relevant because we do not know when what we have will come to an end. The writing is quite simple but I guess it is meant to be and tells just a story of many stories that have not been told. Of course Petra had great resources to bounce back and not all of us have this opportunity but she also continues to make a difference in her life as she got another chance to live. We cannot change the past but we can accept it and change the future.
