About this ebook
A memoir of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds by the one who knew them best: “A family story, part comedy, part tragedy . . . an homage and a cautionary tale.” —The Wall Street Journal
In December 2016, the world was shaken by the sudden deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, losses that occurred within twenty-four hours of each other. 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 glamor, wealth, and pretense of Hollywood, but managed to remain grounded thanks to his funny, loving, no-nonsense mother and remained close to his sister through both her meteoric rise to stardom and her personal struggles. Now, Todd shares his memories of Debbie and Carrie with deeply personal stories, from his earliest years to those last unfathomable days. With thirty-two pages of never-before-seen photos and memorabilia from his family’s private archives, Todd’s book is a love letter to a sister and a mother, and a gift to their countless fans.
“A frequently hilarious and too often heartbreaking story of life with the women he called ‘my girls’. . . . More than a Hollywood tell-all, Fisher’s memoir of a family’s love and endurance under trying and sometimes outrageous circumstances is a clear-eyed tribute to lives lived to the fullest.” —Publishers Weekly
“Fisher’s tribute to these larger-than-life creative ladies is a down-to-earth portrait of a loving mother and supportive sister.” —Booklist

as a long time fan of both Debbie and Carrie it has been an honor to be part of this journey with Todd. I laughed, I cried and I sobbed reading this wonderful, love monument from a son and brother to his mother and sister. I cannot thank Todd enough for this wonderful book.

Enjoyed reading about the life of Debbie Reynolds and the ups and downs of her life. Some day I just might see her dancing on golden streets forever!
