Table of ContentsReviewsIn More Than Love, Natasha Gregson Wagner brings to life her extraordinarily talented and devoted movie-star mother, Natalie Wood, their magical life before Natalie's tragic drowning when Natasha was eleven, and Natasha's struggle to grow up after. The book is moving, powerful, and so honest. Natasha Gregson Wagner is a bright life force as was her mother. --Delia Ephron, author of Siracusa In this wrenching memoir, Natasha Gregson Wagner conjures in precise, dreamlike detail the idyllic, protected childhood that her mother, Natalie Wood, created for her--a menagerie of animals and friends, a garden always in bloom, laughter on the telephone, bubbles in the bath--and how that dream that morphed into a cold-sweat nightmare with Wood's sudden death. After Wood dies, eleven-year-old Natasha's world goes grey, like Oz in reverse. Writing from inside an experience long crystallized as Hollywood lore and sometimes as Hollywood scandal, Wagner deftly redirects us to the true mystery, that of the deep and enduring bond she shares with her namesake. --Dana Goodyear, author of The Oracle of Hollywood Boulevard, Honey and Junk, and Anything That Moves A mother's death is a loss that changes a daughter forever.
