Thom Bierdz book "Forgiving Troy" gets TV Guide rave!

| | Comments (0) |

abeirdz.jpgTV Guide has a rave review in its current issue (the one with "American Idol" judges on the cover) for the wonderful book, "Forgiving Troy" written by Thom Bierdz, a former soap star ("The Young and the Restless") who is now openly gay and has had to endure unimaginable family tragedies.
abeirdz2.jpgHere is the review by Michael Logan: "Thom Bierdz, the 80's soap opera sensation who played Phillip Chancellor on The Young and the Restless, has written Forgiving Troy (www.ThomBierdz.com) , a gut-punching memoir that chronicles his triumph over an unspeakable tragedy: In 1989, Bierdz's mentally-ill brother, Troy, beat their mother to death with a baseball bat. And there's so much more. Now openly gay and an acclaimed painter, Bierdz talks about his painful, closeted years on Y&R and how, when the acting dried up, he was forced to work at the Soap Opera Digest Awards, serving drinks to the very people with whom he once costarred. Chilling, hopeful, spiritual. You'll never read anything like it."
