Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again

Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again

She grew up in front of the world on the beloved sitcomÂ Full House, but then actress Andrea Barber abruptly left Hollywood.Â Why did she leave and what did she do for twenty years out of the spotlight before returning to television? This is her funny and inspiring memoir of fame, heartache, resilienceâ€”and the reboot of a lifetime . . .
Â
When Kimmy Gibbler burst into the Tannersâ€™ home onÂ Full HouseÂ in 1987, audiences immediately connected with the confident and quirky pre-teen character, played by ten-year-old actress Andrea Barber. During an eight-season run on one of the most popular series of the â€˜80s and â€˜90s, Andrea came of age in front of millions. But she was as far removed from her character as a girl can get. The introverted young star was plagued with self-doubt, insecurities, and debilitating anxieties that left her questioning her identity after the showâ€™s cancelation. Andrea wouldnâ€™t return to the public eye until 2016, forÂ Fuller House. So what happened in those intervening decades that Andrea jokingly calls â€œthe lost yearsâ€?

For starters, Andrea never stopped working. But it was on a series of life-changing transitions:Â earning a college degree, then a Masterâ€™s, building a career in international education, getting married, and starting a family.Â She also faced some unforeseeable transitions: navigating a sudden divorce after nearly twelve years of marriage, and second-guessing her capabilities as a single mother. But it was her devastating bout with post-partum anxiety and depression that derailed Andreaâ€™s lifeâ€”and became a crucial turning point.
Â
Full CircleÂ is a raw, refreshingly honest look into the life of a celebrity who has never been fully comfortable in the spotlight. Here Andrea shares her deeply personal struggles with mental health in a way she has never done before. She opens up about fighting her way back and finding solaceâ€”while finding herselfâ€”all before her life came full circle with her costars and lifelong friends onÂ Fuller House. Sharing her journey from child star, to champion of mental health, and back to stardom,Â Andrea writes in a way that feels like catching up with an old friend.
Â
Youâ€™ll laugh, reminisce, and finally get to know the woman behind the zany next door neighbor.
