Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter
Author: Melissa Francis
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 1602861757
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
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?

Daisy's father, Nick.New Year is a time to diet and purify (after, of course, finishing up all the Christmas crap - there's no point trying to diet with all that still hanging around. Glass of port anyone?).Mum is losing weight, courtesy of Jaffa cakes and low-fat strawberry angel delight (two of my five a day!). Dad is having a bicycle-clip clear out.My detox is my feckless, irresponsible former boyfriend.Alex and I will never work out if I can't cut Nick out of my life. But how can I, when he's Daisy's dad?PRAISE for the Bad Mother's series ..."The literary equivalent of chocolate. If you're having a bad day, read this right now!

I suppose I was darker when I was younger ...How long is this series?The plan is for five books, taking Daisy all the way to school - and maybe beyond if people are still interested in reading.How will this book make me feel?Uplifted, loved and happy, like any good romantic comedy.
