La Lucci

The moving follow-up to Susan Lucci’s New York Times bestseller, All My Life, this stunning new memoir includes nearly one hundred never-before-seen photos.

The long-running Queen of Daytime television, Susan Lucci—who has gone by the endearment, La Lucci, since her earliest days on the set of All My Children—knows a thing or two about life, love, joy, adventure, and remaking oneself after loss, both personally and professionally.

While Erica Kane, her character on the daytime drama All My Children, had married eleven times during her forty-one years on air, Susan had been married only once—to the love of her life, Helmut Huber. When Helmut passed away unexpectedly in March of 2022, she faced one of the greatest challenges of her life—overcoming grief and striving to live with hope and joy again while still honoring her memories.

This is a book that celebrates love, friendships, those we admire up close or from afar, the influential teachers in our lives, the wonder of family, parenting and grandparenting, the magic of theatre, fulfilled dreams, grace, freshly baked apples, Alpine cheese, home renovations, modern medicine, faith, miracles large and small, mending one’s heart, and moving forward. But most of all, this is a book written with gratitude.

It is with a tender mix of candor, humor, and vulnerability that Lucci reflects on both her many life blessings and her biggest hurdles. At turns entertaining, funny, sad, healing, and genuinely informative, her stories are not just about mourning loss, they are about grabbing and living life with gusto at every stage … on every stage.
