Synopsis
The Glass Castle meets The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in this dazzlingly honest and provocative family memoir by former child actress and current Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis. When Melissa Francis was eight years old, she won the role of lifetime: playing Cassandra Cooper Ingalls, the little girl who was adopted with her brother (played by young Jason Bateman) by the Ingalls family on the world's most famous primetime soap opera, Little House on the Prairie . Despite her age, she was already a veteran actress, living a charmed life, moving from one Hollywood set to the next. But behind the scenes, her success was fueled by the pride, pressure, and sometimes grinding cruelty of her stage mother, as fame and a mother's ambition pushed her older sister deeper into the shadows. Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter is a fascinating account of life as a child star in the 1980's, and also a startling tale of a family under the care of a highly neurotic, dangerously competitive"tiger mother." But perhaps most importantly, now that Melissa has two sons of her own, it's a meditation on motherhood, and the value of pushing your children: how hard should you push a child to succeed, and at what point does your help turn into harm?, The Glass Castle meets The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in this dazzlingly honest and provocative family memoir by former child actress and current Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis.

- l***w (10)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent communication with top tier customer service. I was given an option of hardback or softback books to purchase and told exactly how long each one would take. Upon making my selection I was informed about what that particular type would entail, quality condition, and it was shipped almost right away. The package arrived in good shape, all of the books had all of their pages, exactly as promised. I am very thankful for a wonderful customer experience with this seller. 10/10.A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket Hard Cover Set 1-13 COMPLETE (#176559677544)
- e***9 (228)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book would have been as advertised, "Like New Condition ", however it was shipped in a plastic bag with no cardboard protection, rending it vulnerable. Three corners got damaged during shipment. One front corner is torn into the cardboard. The pages however are in new condition. Otherwise I felt the book was a good value for what it was prior to shipment.Artist's Drawing Techniques (#176871354755)
- m***u (238)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent seller. Arrived earlier than expected from the USA to the UK, with all books enclosed and all within the conditions I would expect from a used book (some more used than others but all perfectly readable). Communication was excellent, and the price was a bargain for such a large amount of hardback books. Would definitely use again!
