But most prominently, she would become my problem-solver. Before I met her, I had a bunch of problems.

Forewarned of the dangers but unable to resist, he still dives into a torrid relationship that takes him to a new level of self-awareness and revelation as he becomes her target while trying to protect his estranged wife and their two daughters from the violence they all know is set to explode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Told with self-deprecating humor and high-octane drama, \u003ci\u003eLuggage By Kroger\u003c\/i\u003e pulls no punches in finally sharing the inside story that forced him onto the talk-show circuit in the late 1980s as the poster boy for true-life fatal attractions with Oprah, Regis and Sally. It's a story that twice has seen life as television docudrama. But the intimate details have remained under the radar since they occurred in 1979-80. As he says in his dedication, this book is written partially for all those who \"kept me out late in bars demanding more.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595530303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595530304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Silver Medal Winner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gary Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46738981093631,"sku":"9780595530304","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fc20f57-4093-492b-9e0f-b846b0709e5f.jpg?v=1743276850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/luggage-by-kroger-gary-taylor-9780595530304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
