Perfect for fans of Tina Turner’s My Love Story and Sally Field’s In Pieces, this New York Times bestseller is an extraordinary can’t-miss memoir.

For more than five decades, Olivia Newton-John was one of our most successful and adored entertainers. A four-time Grammy Award winner, she was one of the world’s bestselling recording artists of all time, with more than 100 million albums sold.
