About this title: Marcia Brady had it all - style, looks, boys, brains and talent. No wonder Jan was jealous! Young woman across the generations cheered on as Marcia ran for student president and took her drivers test. We swooned when she got the lead role in "Romeo and Juliet" and sported those groovy ponchos and platform shoes. We understood when Marcia suffered ...

"I thought the book was very good since I grew up with the Brady Bunch I took interest in Maureen Mccormicks bio and it was a page turner. Who'll be next?"
"I recently had the pleasure of reading Maureen McCormick's "Here's The Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice." In it, Ms. McCormick describes her battles which include but are by no means limited to bulemia, obesity, drug addiction, psychological issues, elder abuse as well as her own insecurities (not the least of which is constantly being compared to a fictional character, "Marcia Brady").
Now a New York Bestselling Author, Ms. McCormick has taken her celebrity status and reached out to countless numbers of people, who are also fighting their own battles, or helping someone else to battle their own. Through this heartbreaking, heartwarming and very real book, she encourages others that despite how difficult a situation may be at the time, there is hope and there is help. You just need to believe in yourself. Find and listen to your own true voice.
Well done, Ms. McCormick, and congratulations and thank you on becoming the inspirational person you have become, not only to your family but to people around the world.
"There were parts of this book that I genuinely liked and found interesting, unfortunately there were many parts that bored me. The problem is not necessarily that the writer lacks a good story, more that the tales told are not what the average reader is looking for. Most people, much like myself, are not reading this book out of a love of Maureen McCormick. We love Marcia Brady. Maureen is a remarkable woman, don't get me wrong, but I am mainly interested in her pop culture experiences. The book lacks Brady dirt! This is my main complaint. The Brady days are a very brief part of this book which makes sense because they were ony a brief part of the writer's life. Because I read this to find out the dirty details of life on The Brady Bunch I was a bit disappointed. On the other hand, the book is very honest and gives a no holds barred account of the actress' life and is delivered in a naturally conversational manner. Some sections went on a bit long for my liking. In particular the topics of drug abuse and aging parents could have been shortened up a bit. Not a bad book but not what I was hoping for."
"I have an unabashed love of celebrity bios. I feel almost no guilt in reading them. There are a few rules though. I have to get them from the library (natch) and they should not be longer than 275 pages. (Anyone can whittle their life down to that amount; it's called being succinct!) And, please, don't dwell on one's "life philosophy." I have never once read something in a celebrity bio that I would call "wisdom." Problem is, no matter who you are, your life lessons all start to sound the same after a while.
Maureen McCormick is my latest read. She hits all her marks. Her story is brief and surprisingly juicy. It says something about this book that the moment the author falls on the street and sees Jesus calling to her is one of the less outrageous details.
Turns out Ms. McCormick was an abusive wife. Not just an abusive wife... a born-again Christian abusive wife. You read that right: after giving her life over to Jesus, Mo turned on her husband. She slaps him around (I kid you not) and nearly drives him away. He stays because he's committed to God. I found these sections even more riveting than her lost cocaine years. I mean, let's face it, drugs and abortions are a staple of these bios. (She had two, by the way.) Also, it can't be a coincidence that these bios (those written by women, anyway) always involve confessions of same-sex desire. Mo thought about it, mostly in Amsterdam. Not sure how she feels about the issue now.
Less interesting is her detail about her five seasons playing Marcia on 'The Brady Bunch.' About the only detail worth nothing is that she and Barry "Greg" Williams nearly got it on. Also, little lispy Cindy knew Robert Reed was gay before Mo did.
Oh, and by the end, Mo is being secretly videotaped by her brother who is threatening to ruin her career, all the while acting as kidnapper to their father.
