description: With the publication of CHANGING in 1977, Liv Ullmann the actress became - through her subtly powerful and beautifully written book - Liv Ullmann the woman, whose private self has touched and inspired thousand of readers. Now, in CHOICES, she continues her story and reveals her most personal thoughts and feelings about her stage and film work, about being in love, about her daughter, about entering middle age - and about a turning point in her life.Describing her travels as UNICEF's Ambassador of Good Will (the first woman ever to hold the title) from Cambodia to Ethiopia, from Manila to Ecuador, she vividly and movingly recalls the stories and lives of the people she encounters. She examines, too, the profound changes within her as she begins to understand how important the element of choice is in life - the deprived children of the world have none - and how she has denied herself the 'essence of what it is to be human' be always living up to someone else's image of her as an actress, a wife or lover, a mother, or a public figure.At last her true self can emerge.
