About this title

Synopsis:

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 through braces and a slight case of acne. We cried when she broke her nose, lost dates all because of her brothers and even lost the attic to Greg. What viewers didn't know about the always sunny, perfect Marcia Brady was that off-screen, the real little girl, Maureen McCormick, was living a very different and not-so-wonderful life. She discloses the devastating effects of a dark secret her mother tried to keep until near the end of her life, and also how that affected her relationship with her parents and five siblings, including a mentally disabled brother with whom she was very close.

From the Back Cover:

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 off-screen 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 life-long battle to come to terms with the idea of perfection--and herself.
