[Terrill Persky · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm giving the book a 3 star rating because I witnessed Brooke Shields growing up in the press and was curious about her life and her mother's role in it, so the subject matter was interesting to me. She wrote honestly about her mother's alcoholism and how it impacted her life. Considering everything she went through by herself, her father left the home when Brooke was a toddler, taking care of her mother, working, fans, media scrutiny, college, etc. it's pretty amazing that she came out as well as she seems to have. She doesn't hold back details of the famous in her life, positive and negative which, of course, is facsinating in a People Magazine kind of way!

She is just an ok writer, some awkward parts, unsophisticated phrasing, etc., also too long. Where was the editor?

My first book by Eileen Dewhurst. It was a book sale book...pretty good. I kinda figured out the ending, but it was still good.
