A Life Unexpected is a book about her perseverance, her constant battles with naysayers, and her strength to move forward despite numerous obstacles. There has never been a story like this nor could there be as it wouldn't be believed. Yet it's true. This book details -the men in her life (Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Dana Andrews, John Wayne, Charles Bronson, and even billionaire Howard Hughes); -the emotions throughout her life (fear, isolation, passion, sadness, joy, and a longing for real love); -the experiences in her life, such as reckless stunts, heartbreaking romances, and breaking all the rules, even flying to the edge of the atmosphere with an astronaut; and -finally, her unstoppable goal to become one of the most famous actresses in the world in an effort to make her mom proud. A Life Unexpected is a mixture of vignettes and short stories of her travels in the film lands of the world, her interactions with amazing people, and a lot of laughs sprinkled with salty tears for good measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Cristal, Jordan Wexler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982220163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982220167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.24d","brand":"Linda Cristal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984079847679,"sku":"9781982220167","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9555db6d-a86e-402c-8bd6-e675f010ab7b.jpg?v=1683270382","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-unexpected-linda-cristal-9781982220167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
