SUMMARY:Authors! with Alyson Stoner
DESCRIPTION:Step into a raw and resonant discussion with actress\, dancer\, and mental health advocate Alyson Stoner for this special evening at the Toledo Library\, celebrating their debut memoir\, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything. Stoner will share intimate insights into their journey from child star to mental health practitioner — focusing on deconstructing the myth of being “well-adjusted\,” the pursuit of genuine well-being\, and the urgent need for reform within the entertainment industry. This is a galvanizing discussion perfect for fans of bold personal stories\, cultural critique\, and those interested in breaking generational trauma. \nAbout the book: \nSemi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything is Alyson Stoner’s revelatory and incisive debut memoir\, charting their life from a child performer to a voice for industry reform. The book exposes the reality behind the “toddler to trainwreck pipeline\,” detailing a harrowing path that includes family violence\, an eating disorder that led to rehab\, the messy process of discovering their queer sexuality in a religious environment\, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a chaotic world. Bold and unflinching\, Stoner maps her unconventional journey to deliver a powerful cultural critique on the entertainment ecosystem and society’s enchantment with fame\, offering a guide on how to break the bonds of generational trauma and find the freedom that comes from trusting your own voice. \nAbout the author: \nBorn right here in Toledo\, Ohio — Alyson Stoner is an American actor\, dancer\, and singer\, well-known for their roles in films like Cheaper by the Dozen\, the Step Up franchise\, the Camp Rock movies\, and as the voice of Isabella in Phineas and Ferb.
