I read this on kindle-paperwhite and I bet I'd give it more stars if I got to see the photos and other layout bling in better quality - my first kindle total fail on quality of translation to e-reader format - Bette gets five stars who ever did the kindle edition gets 2 at most, ugh . (

1980. it was a time. captures midler's voice and life on tour and pre marriage and pre motherhood. her written voice is her stage persona: smart and ascerbic. fun photos too.
