Carla Lane's enchanting autobiography fizzes with the wry humor, sharp insights. and fabulous characterization one would expect from the author of such award-winning TV dramas as "The" "Liver Birds" and "Bread and Butterflies." Always a rebel, Carla's own life has not been without its personal dramas, and she writes about them all with disarming frankness and humor. Sent to a strict Catholic convent school in Liverpool, she was always near the bottom of the class, except in poetry for which she won the school prize when only seven, her poem appearing in the "Post." Carla was married at17 and a mother of two by the time she was19doing houseworkby day, writing by night while the family slept. When, in 1970, her first scripts were accepted and "The Liver Birds" was born, her life was to change dramatically as she shot to fame, finding herself suddenly surrounded by big stars and immersed in the power-play of the TV world. She writes engrossingly about those heady years, about the actors and directors she worked with, about the breakup of her marriage and the secret affair she has never before spoken aboutbut also, and with gusto, about her Liverpool childhood and colorful family which have remained her inspiration, from her Auntie Girtie who stole a gold chalice from the local church to her Uncle Tom who spent all his leisure time writing to soap manufacturers!"
