Carrie White was the celebrated hairdresser behind every Hollywood photo shoot, TV appearance, and party in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. She collaborated with Richard Avedon on his iconic images for Vogue, partied with Jim Morrison, gave Sharon Tate her signature California style, and got high with Jimi Hendrix. These remarkable luminaries and others are just one piece of a stunning survival story marked by abandonment, drugs, alcohol, and abuse. Carrie eventually lost everything—her home, her career, and nearly her children—before finding sobriety and rebuilding her life. This extraordinary Los Angeles Times bestseller is an unflinching portrayal of addiction and recovery, proving that even in Hollywood sometimes you have to fight for a happy ending.
