Publisher's summary

A revelatory and touching tribute to the lives of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds written by the person who knew them best, Todd Fisher’s poignant memoir is filled with moving stories of growing up among Hollywood royalty.

In December 2016, the world was shaken by the sudden deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, two unspeakable losses that occurred in less than 24 hours. The stunned public turned for solace to Debbie’s only remaining child, Todd Fisher, who somehow retained his grace and composure under the glare of the media spotlight as he struggled with his own overwhelming grief.

The son of "America’s Sweethearts" Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Todd grew up amid the glamorous wealth and pretense of Hollywood. Thanks to his funny, loving, no-nonsense mother, Todd remained down to earth, his own man, but always close to his cherished mom, and to his sister through her meteoric rise to stardom and her struggle with demons that never diminished her humor, talent, or spirit.

Now, Todd shares his heart and his memories of Debbie and Carrie with deeply personal stories from his earliest years to those last unfathomable days. His book, part memoir, part homage, celebrates their legacies through a more intimate, poignant, and often hilarious portrait of these two remarkable women than has ever been revealed before.

Todd’s book is a love letter to a sister and a mother, and a gift to countless fans who are mourning the deaths of these two unforgettable stars.

TRULY A GREAT BOOK

After listening to Todd Fisher's MY GIRLS, A lifetime with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds you will never envy anyone again. I enjoyed this listen more than most celebrity books. In fact, I can safely say, MY GIRLS is the best autobiography of three of the most interesting people in Show Business. The third of course is Todd Fisher, the only son of Debbie and the one sister that Todd adored. At times I felt that I was listening to the most truthful telling of a story that has captivated the world for more than sixty five years.

This book is worth owning! After your first listen you will want to hear it again at a later date. Usually an author that reads his or hers own works are boring and dull. However, Todd Fisher did a fantastic job narrating his own work. It felt real to the point of making me cry, laugh, and lastly never to be jealous of anyone's life or envy people you may perceive have it all, because they don't. It's easy to perceive in our own minds that money, fame, or great success makes us happy. DON'T BELIEVE THIS FOOLISH LIE! IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE!!!

I always felt jealousy was a wasted emotion. After reading this book. or listening in this case, I really came to believe all of us are basically the same. Pitfalls in life exist in everyone, including the rich and the famous...that are often worse than our own life's experiences.


I have no idea how Todd turned out to be a kind and generous soul he became as an adult. In fact, I commend Todd for this one accomplishment...that speaking for me only, I probably never would have achieved.

This is a book not to be missed. It's worth more than one credit! You will not be able to stop listening to MY GIRLS! It's simply a wonderful story.

Thank you for reading my review. I know after you hear it you will agree.
Best,
Steve

Lovely

A very honest and loving tribute to two amazing people. It was exactly as I expected it to be and I loved every minute.

I miss his girls

Todd Fisher does a great job telling tales about his mother and sister and it is also refreshing to hear about his own accomplishments in the entertainment industry. He tended to spend more time talking about his mom which came from an interesting point of view. His hot/cold relationship with his sister is evident by his ridicule of her but he certainly came from a point of brotherly love.

The Best

Todd, one of the best books I have ever listened to! Thank you for your open honesty and telling the truth. May God speed! I just don't know how important it is for the public to understand the facts behind the headlines and to really know your mother and sister. I know you know they are always with you and in you. Thank you too for the faith behind what it is you write.

Interesting Read

Job well done telling us the story of this talented family. So much tragedy, craziness, and mostly love.

For any movie buff both old and new.

I am not one that cries with books. This one got me yes I knew how it would end, but still got me. Told from Todd's point of view, it's very insightful especially in the way they grew up. He doesn't strike me as one who grew up in the way one would think a child of Hollywood stars would grow up. The connection he has with his family is very strong, I think partly due to having to see his Mother work so hard to make things happen for her family especially later in life when one should be able to relax a bit.
Narrated by Todd himself is just iceing on the cake. He did a great job writing and narrating this book. May the force be with this family

Fun and Heartfelt

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Tod did a great job telling the story of my absolute favorite Hollywood star ever. She was such a big part of mine and so many others lives as we were growing up. To know that she truly was the person that we thought she was is astounding. I was totally in tears in the end but I got so much joy and satisfaction from this book as a whole.

Great Listen But...

I never was able to get over the author’s sad, self-justifying co-dependence on his mom and sister. Some of the stories of his ridiculously privileged and obnoxious teenage years were so tone deaf and out of touch, it repelled me. But as he matured and became more self aware I started to enjoy it more. Quite a life. Just didn’t seem like HIS.

Truly Fantastic!

I started listening to this book and thought it would just be OK. I just finished this book after missing many hours of sleep. I could not stop listening. What a wonderful narration and an incredible story by someone who sat in the first row from beginning to end. Kudos, Todd Fisher. What a story, what a tribute.
