Description
In this candid, insightful, and unconventional memoir, Goldie Hawn invites us to join her in an inspirational look back at the people, places, and events that have touched her. It is the spiritual journey of a heart in search of enlightenment.
With her trademark effervescence, Goldie delivers a personal look at private and powerful events that carried her through life: her father’s spontaneity; her mother’s courage; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a parent, and a lover. She writes about her childhood dreams of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go years in 1960s New York City, the phenomenon of TV’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, her Oscar-winning debut in Cactus Flower and Hollywood stardom. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger and fear, and the importance of compassion and integrity. She speaks openly about her family, her partner Kurt Russell, her children; her faith, her curiosity for that which she doesn’t yet know, and her thirst for knowledge. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.

Loved it
5By the jungle jewelerI really loved this book. It was insightful. Goldie could put into simple words for me, how I feel. I would love to take some of the adventures Goldie has taken. But Goldie’s words have given meaning to my own bucket list. Thank you Goldie, I would love to share Gramma and Glamma stories!Beautiful Book
5By oneknightWhat a wonderful life story filled with the search for joy and love!!!!!Very enjoyable
5By RedbeamerI enjoyed this book very much. I have read other biographies and memoirs about other actresses. I have to say that Goldie seems much more centered and grateful for her lifestyle and success than the majority of the other women I have read about. The book is well written and I really liked it. As we are close in age, I could identify with her childhood as well.Synchronicity!
5By JLJSkyhawkJust what I needed to read at the perfect time. Many thanks to you Goldie and to every one who brought this book into existence and to my attention.
