Isn't She Great?

by Michael Korda

For Jacqueline Susann, excess was the norm. She lived a life most people only dreamt about. She basked in the spotlight, and reveled in the glitz and glamour that made her a pop icon in the 60's and 70's. But beneath the flamboyant facade, she was tormented by a secret she desperately fought to keep hidden from the world. In this audiobook adapted from his bestselling memoir "Another Life," Michael Korda recounts his wild ride as Susann's editor. Not only does he relay the story of a woman who at 47 surmounted impossible odds to become the reigning superstar of pulp fiction with "Valley of the Dolls," Korda provides a tantalizing glimpse into the bygone publishing scene of the era.

A poignant, funny look at a vivacious and brassy woman and the publishing world in which she thrived, "Isn't She Great" is a captivating insider's tale that only Michael Korda could tell.
