A revelatory and touching tribute to the lives of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds written by the person who knew them best, Todd Fisher's poignant memoir is filled with moving stories of growing up among Hollywood royalty.

In December 2016, the world was shaken by the sudden deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, two unspeakable losses that occurred in less than twenty-four hours. The stunned public turned for solace to Debbie's only remaining child, Todd Fisher, who somehow retained his grace and composure under the glare of the media spotlight as he struggled with his own overwhelming grief.

The son of "America's Sweethearts" Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Todd grew up amid the glamorous wealth and pretense of Hollywood. Thanks to his funny, loving, no-nonsense mother, Todd remained down to earth, his own man, but always close to his cherished mom, and to his sister through her meteoric rise to stardom and her struggle with demons that never diminished her humor, talent, or spirit.

Now, Todd shares his heart and his memories of Debbie and Carrie with deeply personal stories from his earliest years to those last unfathomable days. His book, part memoir, part homage, celebrates their legacies through a more intimate, poignant, and often hilarious portrait of these two remarkable women than has ever been revealed before.

Todd's book is a love letter to a sister and a mother, and a gift to countless fans who are mourning the deaths of these two unforgettable stars.

It was hard to put this book down. Todd Fisher does a fantastic job of telling us what it was like growing up as the son of Debbie Reynolds and the brother of Carrier Fisher - two strong women. As he sees his mother taken advantage of by the men in her life, he becomes her protector. Fisher lets us in on intimate scenes but with love and insight. He had his own problems but appeared to work through them, all the while helping his mom and sister and being there for them. I have been a fan of Debbie since 1957 when at not quite age 1, my mom started playing the record Tammy to help me sleep at night. I was able to see Debbie at her Vegas hotel and her wonderful collection of costumes as well as at other venues over the years. She was a consummate performer who really knew how to hold and entertain an audience. It is a shame her dream of a museum for her costume collection was never realized and now that collection is scattered all over the world. This is one of the best biographies I have read recently and I highly recommend it. ( )
