On television, Kevin Sorbo portrayed an
invincible demigod; in his real life, a sudden health crisis left him
partially blind and incapacitated at just thirty-eight years old. Yet
since appearances are everything in Hollywood, he hid the full details
about his condition from the press and continued to film Hercules,
which was the number one TV series in the world. In this inspiring
memoir, Sorbo shares the story of the crisis that ultimately redefined
his measure of success.
True Strength is the story of
transformation, persistence, and hope in the face of seemingly
insurmountable obstacles. Sorbo reflects on his childhood in Minnesota
and his early acting days in Hollywood, to his charmed life as
television’s beloved Hercules, and where he is today. He recounts the
onset of his symptoms, his frightening hospitalization, and his
arduous path to recovery. With this honest account of personal tragedy
and triumph, Sorbo aims to blaze a trail for those who have ever
suffered acute illness or a serious setback in life and are now
struggling to find their way back.
