""Life has its ups and downs, but are most as scathingly interesting as this story? Dare to read it my friends, you won't be able to put it down. Linda has lived her life to the fullest and I'm proud of her being transparent and real."" -Scott Holmes, star of As the World Turns and original Grease and Evita on Broadway Fasten your seatbelts, folks, because you're in for quite a rollercoaster ride. Linda Hoxit-you may not know the name, but you might recognize the face from TV variety shows, commercials, and theater-Linda's done it all as a dancer, singer, and actor. What makes her story a little different are the players, her relationships, her navigating the crazy decades of the '70s and '80s, and her coming out of it happy, healthy, and intact. We get intimate details about her relationships with rock star Al Kooper and other rock folks, working with people like Sonny and Cher, Carol Burnett, the Brady Bunch, and many others. We get stories about sexual harassers, her time dating Hugh Hefner's brother and living at the Playboy Mansion, her travels, the excitement of going to Broadway with a major musical-the whole damn thing, no punches pulled. And along the way, some good life-lessons for aspiring dancer/singer/actors just starting out. All told in a colorful, no-nonsense way that is refreshing in its candor and bold in its truths. It's also a good deal of fun. Oh, just read it already. -Bruce Kimmel, award-winning writer/director/Grammy-nominated record producer ""Linda and I had a great time originating our roles on Broadway in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers together.
