Summary: I Now Know What's Over The Rainbow
Review: Lorna Luft had the real potential to take her private life and turn it into another "Mommie Dearest". But as you read the book, you come to realize quite fast that it is a "Mommy Dearest" in the truest and literal sense of the words. If anything, she explains what, up until now, have been question marks as to "why" and "how". There is no doubt she loves her mother, her father, her sister and her brother very much. While her story may begin with the childhood of Frances Gumm, it certainly doesn't end at her funeral. This is a rare, honest, and raw glimpse into the world of society's attitudes toward drugs and alcohol spent upon the public stage. But it was told from her vantage point...the view of a child with the forced wisdom of an adult thrust upon her at an early age.The fact that these children survived is a testament to themselves and the love they received from their parents. And if the end of the book doesn't give you hope, then you better re-read it with a little attitude adjustment.
