Review by Jamie Michele for Readers’ Favorite — "Very highly recommended"
"Marilyn Howard delivers a strong and timely autobiography, and it's no wonder she was able to fill a whole book with her stories. We're fortunate to have her share a span of decades, through her early life, friendships, exciting stories as she traversed the globe, relationships, legal woes and government foes, and motherhood. The latter was juggled with the dexterity of an octopus, while her shooting star continued to rise and illuminate the Manhattan skyline she so dearly loves. While reading this well-written, engrossing, and witty memoir, I often read bits of advice out loud to my teenage daughter who enjoyed them as much as I did. And honestly, if you can get a teenage girl to smile you’re knocking it out of the park."
