If you have a Spanish-speaking relative living with you, then chances are Maria Celeste Arrarás is a household name to you. This month, the Emmy Award-winning TV personality (host of Telemundo’s Al Rojo Vivo con María Celeste) will unveil her new book, Make Your Life Prime Time: How to Have It All Without Losing Your Soul (Atria Books, $21). Through a series of anecdotes, she takes you on a behind-the-scenes tour of the cutthroat world of television and talks about the obstacles (divorce and betrayal from a personal assistant, for starters) she’s had to conquer in order to make it to the top of her personal and professional life.

Here’s what people are saying about the book (btw, this isn’t her first; Arrarás also wrote Selena’s Secret back in 1997):

“It’s a fascinating read that has given me more reasons to admire her and feel fortunate to call her my friend.” –Gloria Estefan

“Maria Celeste is someone who’s willing to learn from all the experiences that life has given her. We can all learn something from this book.” –Rachael Ray

“She’s an honest woman and a fighter who has achieved everything with an iron will. I’m sure her story will serve as inspiration to a lot of young people and help them take charge of their life and careers.” –Enrique Iglesias
