In this candid memoir, Grassle \nreveals her journey to succeed as an actress even as she struggles to \novercome depression, combat her own dependence on alcohol, and find true\n love. With humor and hard-won wisdom, Grassle takes readers on an \ninspiring journey through the political turmoil on ’60s campuses, on to \nstudies with some of the most celebrated artists at the famed London \nAcademy of Music and Dramatic Arts, and ultimately behind the curtains \nof Broadway stages and storied Hollywood sets. In these pages, readers \nmeet actors and directors who have captivated us on screen and stage as \nthey fall in love, betray and befriend, and don costumes only to reveal \nthemselves. We know Karen Grassle best as the proud prairie woman \nCaroline Ingalls, with her quiet strength and devotion to family, but \nthis memoir introduces readers to the complex, funny, rebellious, and \nsoulful woman who, in addition to being the force behind those many \nstrong women she played, fought passionately—as a writer, producer, and \nactivist—on behalf of equal rights for women. Raw, emotional, and \ntender, \u003ci\u003eBright Lights\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates and honors womanhood, in all its complexity.","brand":"She Writes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44489958326527,"sku":"9781647423131","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781647423131_s600x595.jpg?v=1776957573","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781647423131","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
