From the back cover: "Joan Crawford's adopted daughter, Christina, has written the most shocking and heartbreaking love story ever. It is the story of a Hollywood child growing up in a nightmare of alcoholism, abuse and terror. It is a story of the tragic love between a beautiful and ruthless woman who wanted the world. . . and a lonely little girl who only wanted a mother. It is Christina's own story."

A classic now, still as shocking as when it was published. Sensational and sad.
