Ask Me Again Tomorrow

<p><strong>Something about Olympia Dukakis just speaks to people. In her signature straight-talk style she tells the story of her own history and career.</strong></p><p>Olympia Dukakis internationally known movie and theater star was born into a Greek family in Lowell Massachusetts. As a first generation Greek-American Olympia lived in the hyphen and struggled to reconcile her American desires with her family's old-world traditions. ASK ME AGAIN TOMORROW tells the story of Olympia's struggle to find her place as an American as a woman and as a star. It specifically explores the relationship between Olympia whose main ambition was to live her life exactly as she wanted and her mother who spent a lifetime constrained by a tradition that delegated her to second class. Like Sidney Poitier's THIS LIFE and THE MEASURE OF A MAN this is a book that is more than a celebrity memoir. ASK ME AGAIN TOMORROW will speak to many audiences: readers who also experienced America as an adopted country; readers interested in the art of acting; readers interested in autobiography and particularly to female readers who have struggled with fitting their own aspirations in with the needs of family. It is a book that will endure.</p>
