She recounts the crazy ups and downs of her own career and introduces us to some of the super-talented people she encountered before they got famous (or, in some cases, after fame went to their heads).

    Refreshingly candid, unflinchingly honest, and full of hilarious “Did she really say that?” moments, Official Book Club Selection will make you laugh until you cry, or just puke up a little bit.

    Mommy Deadliest Anti-Freeze For A Husband. Pills For A Daughter. A Killer For A Mother

    It looked like a suicide. A man’s corpse on the bathroom floor – next to a half-empty glass of anti-freeze. But fingerprints on the glass belonged to the deceased’s wife, Stacey Castor. And a turkey baster in the garbage had police wondering if she force-fed the toxic fluid down her husband’s throat.

    In desperation, Stacey concocted a devious plan. She mixed a deadly cocktail of vodka and pills, then served it to her twenty-year-old daughter Ashley. The authorities would find Ashley with a suicide note, confessing to the anti-freeze murder. But Stacey’s plan backfired – because Ashley refused to die…

    Charged with murdering her second husband – and attempting to kill her oldest daughter – Stacey Castor sparked a media frenzy. But when police dug up her first husband’s grave – and found anti-freeze in his body, too – this New York housewife earned a nickname that would follow her all the way to prison. They called her “The Black Widow.” And with good reason.
