Editorial reviews

Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick writes and performs this moving memoir about the struggles that have shaped her life beyond the television program that made her a household name.

McCormick is a likable narrator, and her tone is accessibly confidential - listening to her story feels like sitting down with a good friend and getting the whole scoop. She brings a tone of vulnerability to this performance of her own life story, and her thorough, thoughtful self-reflection further introduces an element of raw intensity to this engrossing tell-all audiobook.

Publisher's summary

Marcia Brady, eldest daughter on television's The Brady Bunch, had it all. But what viewers didn't know about the always sunny, perfect Marcia was that offscreen, her real-life counterpart, Maureen McCormick, was living a very different - and not so wonderful - life. Maureen tells the shocking and inspirational true story of the beloved teen and the woman she became.

Maureen takes us behind the scenes of America's favorite television family. But the real story begins after The Brady Bunch ended. Maureen found herself tangled in a fast-paced, drug-fueled Hollywood existence that ultimately led to the biggest battle of her life.

There is no question: Maureen McCormick is a survivor. Here's the Story is the empowering, engaging, shocking, and emotional tale of Maureen McCormick's courageous struggle over adversity and her lifelong battle to come to terms with the idea of perfection - and herself.

Loved ❤️

I really enjoyed the book, they were times I wanted to say Maureen what were you thinking and times that I understood what she was going through overall, and this book made me become a bigger fan and now look at her as Maureen, and no longer
as Marcia Brady❤️

Sad but hopeful

Like millions of other people, I grew up looking up to Marcia Brady and Maureen McCormick by extension. Maureen's story is so tragic and the trap of Marcia so complete. The book is painful to listen to in spots but Maureen leaves us on a hopeful note. I do wish that some of the loose ends with her family had been tied up--I'm not sure they have been in real life but I still think the situation as of the writing of the book should have been stated.

marsha story

I have listened to this book now going on three times. It is about her real life. She made you feel you were really there with her. I enjoy her speaking herself. She has such a soft relaxing voice. She should do more voice overs in the future. I will listen to more of her future books. I hope she does many more. Thank you for wring this book , you will help many people. You are truly loved for all the honesty in your story. keep working , you are appreciated.

Her life definitely wasn't like the Brady Bunch portrait. Who knew that she was really a train wreck. Great book. Love her voice.

Lovely

Maureen gives a wonderful reading of her life story. I didn’t want it to end. This book is as fascinating as it is insightful, and will give you a rather large glimpse at the girl behind the Brady.

meh just so-so expected more

best part was Maureen narrating the book herself, at times you could just hear the difficult emotions on the edge of her voice, the story lacked. I think the details were good but parts felt rushed over as if the surface was only skimmed
