In the spirit of Britney Spears’s The Woman in Me and Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died, an eye-opening memoir about the struggles of addiction, trauma, depression, and life in the public eye, from Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere.

Hayden Panettiere has been in front of the camera since before she could talk. Throughout the early 2000s, she was Hollywood’s blonde girl next door and subjected to all the fame, attention, and expectations that came with that role. As a child star on the rise in an era of relentless paparazzi with an appetite for young celebrity breakdowns, naysayers were certain she would crash and burn. Not one to disappoint, she did. 
 
Hayden’s irreverent memoir satisfies our craving for a nostalgic look back at beloved shows and movies that Millennials grew up with like Ice Princess and the Scream franchise. From her child acting days to multiple stints in rehab, Hayden addresses trauma and addiction, losing custody of her daughter, and being exploited by screenwriters plagiarizing her life story. She starred in hit TV series Heroes and Nashville and was nominated for two Golden Globes all the while suffering behind the scenes. Now having come out the other side, she is no longer scared to use her voice and show her true self.

She’s been a misfit hero, a superstar, a kick-ass survivor, a b*tchy cheerleader, and an all-American fresh face. In SCREAM AND BREAK FREE, Hayden stars as herself – this is her story, on her terms, using her real name. “Save the cheerleader” – remember that, Heroes fans? – was fun and all, but the truth is, the cheerleader saved herself.

She was memorably seen starring in SCREAM 4 and recently reprised her role in the newest installment in the franchise, SCREAM VI. Hayden was the cover girl for Neutrogena’s worldwide campaign and remained a brand ambassador for nearly ten years. Up next is Appian Way and Verdi Productions’ “Sleepwalker,” in which she toplines.
