About this product

Product Information

Actress and author of the New York Times bestseller Down Came the Rain , Brooke Shields, explores her relationship with her unforgettable mother, Teri, in her new memoir. Brooke Shields never had what anyone would consider an ordinary life. She was raised by her Newark-tough single mom, Teri, a woman who loved the world of show business and was often a media sensation all by herself. Brooke's iconic modeling career began by chance when she was only eleven months old, and Teri's skills as both Brooke's mother and manager were formidable. But in private she was troubled and drinking heavily. As Brooke became an adult the pair made choices and sacrifices that would affect their relationship forever. And when Brooke s own daughters were born she found that her experience as a mother was shaped in every way by the woman who raised her. But despite the many ups and downs, Brooke was by Teri s side when she died in 2012, a loving daughter until the end. Only Brooke knows the truth of the remarkable, difficult, complicated woman who was her mother. And now, in an honest, open memoir about her life growing up, Brooke will reveal stories and feelings that are relatable to anyone who has been a mother or daughter."

Reviews
Praise for  There Was a Little Girl "Shields writes with considerable reflection; she's done the hard work of making sense of the contradictions in her mother, and now we get the benefit of her sharing what she's learned." --  Kirkus Reviews "[A] well-crafted and insightful read from beginning to end...a thoughtful poignant and provoking story about a girl and her mom...a remarkably clear-eyed examination." -- Associated Press, Praise for  There Was a Little Girl "Shields writes with considerable reflection; she's done the hard work of making sense of the contradictions in her mother, and now we get the benefit of her sharing what she's learned." --  Kirkus Reviews "[A] well-crafted and insightful read from beginning to end...a thoughtful poignant and provoking story about a girl and her mom...a remarkably clear-eyed examination." -- Associated Press "This story of Brooke's career as a model and actress unfolds from the perspective of an adult child of an alcoholic. Her voice in this memoir is unguarded and raw and deals head-on with the damage alcohol causes in intimate relationships. For a celebrity of her stature to write so honestly and intelligently about emotion wounds is a refreshing change. The book will appeal not only to Shields fans, but also to readers who seek out memoirs about surviving dysfunctional families. Brooke Shields is still our sister, just more real and imperfect." -- BookPage "A raw, honest tale of a mother and daughter that will appeal not only to celebrity watchers but mothers and daughters." --  Library Journal, Praise for  There Was a Little Girl "Shields writes with considerable reflection; she's done the hard work of making sense of the contradictions in her mother, and now we get the benefit of her sharing what she's learned." --  Kirkus Reviews

    Awesome Brooke Shields

    I absolutely loved the book. An intimate look into the lives of Brooke Shields and her mother. I also was born in the 1960s like Brooke and did a lot of the same things as told in her book. Going to thrift stores and flea markets with mom. Being a little boy able to buy cheap things to tinker with helped me in life. I've been with the U.S. Air Force since I graduated high school in 1980. Brooke's book was a really nice read, it keep me motivated to continue reading. And I am not a big reader. Side story... my little sister was called Brooky Shields when she traveled to South Korea back in the 1980s. She was born November 1964. Loved the book!!! THANK YOU BROOKE!!!

    So many excellent autobiographies out there , don't bother with this one.

    I felt like it was hundreds of pages of Brooke whining and complaining. And talk about an undeveloped emotional system, I did enjoy learning about her real life adventures and the film making, but all in all a waste of my time.

    Brooke Shields

    Nicely written book. In her own way, Brooke cared about her mother, even with the craziness in their relationship.
