| On the morning of September 14, 1984, Bar-bara Mandrell awoke on a natural high. Shehad several hit records, hundreds of sold-out concerts, a smash television show, a fanclub 10,000 members strong, and her firstmovie scheduled for release that month. The next day she regained consciousnessin a hospital bed--crippled, her memorygone. A near-fatal highway accident seemedto have stripped her of her dreams. Theworld said her career was over. But the worldwas wrong. Still intact was Barbara s will tosurvive and climb ever upward. Drawing ona boundless determination and abiding faithin God and the American public, sheworked, through the pain and despair--andclimbed to the top again. This is a moving account of one woman srise to fame, and of her struggle to retainthat fame when a devastating accident nearlywrested it from her. Skillfully told in inti-mate detail, Charles Paul Conn s examina-tion of Barbara s life and career confirmsthat in the eat- em-up world of show busi-ness, not only does Barbara Mandrell sur-vive, she triumphs. |
