内容简介
For nearly half a century Joan Crawford
was the essence of glamorous Hollywood.
Having a family of her own, if only for pub-
licity purposes, became for Joan one im-
portant measure of success. Unmarried at
the time, and living in a twenty-two-room
house, she first adopted Christina, then a
son, and eventually two more daughters.
Christina was presented to the world as
the perfect child of the famous film star, but
she could not remain a baby forever, and
when the reporters and fans departed, Chris-
tina grew up with the reality of child abuse
and of alcoholism, and sometimes a night-
mare of sheer terror.
Mommie Dearest is the story of the re-
lationship between a child trying to stay
alive and a ruthless, cunning, lonely
woman who knew every trick of survival.
Christina loved Joan and searched for her
mother s love in return throughout the
years they shared.
It is a book for all those people who have
lived with a terrible secret and have had to
hide the truth because they were afraid or
because no one would believe them. It is for
everyone who knows what it is like to grow
up with a parent determined to thwart
every effort to achieve independence. In
Momrnie Dearest, Christina offers hope that
it is possible to live through a terrifying per-
sonal struggle and create a productive life
nut of chaos.
