I was at risk for losing my Gay card for having not read this yet!
Christina Crawford‘s controversial bestseller opened the world‘s eyes to child abuse in general, and child abuse at the hands of a revered movie star & monster, Joan Crawford, in particular.
I loved the letters from Joan and encounters with her famous friends, but too much of the book is taken up by adult Christina‘s whining that Mommie wouldn‘t send her money or not enough.
