'Delving into the pages of Maggie is rather like straying into her boudoir.'

- Jane Fraser, Weekend Australian

'She has been role model, taste guru, and surrogate media guardian for many Australians. Her beauty, glamour, creamy voice, remarkable communication skills, and down home wisdom—rooted in true-blue earthiness—with just a hint of the larrikin—make her a living icon.'

- Andrew Clark, The Age

'From humble beginnings to fashion pinnacle. An uncut, uncowed Tall Poppy.'

- Harper's Bazaar

Maggie Tabberer was one of Australia's most photographed, most talked about, and most loved personalities. Here she tells of her journey from a childhood in suburban Adelaide to the peak of the Australian fashion industry, a journey of stunning professional achievements matched by a rich and often tempestuous personal life.

Maggie reveals the highs and lows of her first marriage when she was just a teenager, her on-again off-again romance and marriage with Ettore Prossimo, her romantic liaisons, and her long-term relationship with Richard Zachariah. She takes us into her life, and with honesty, laughter, and sometimes tears she introduces us to her children, her friends, her world.

A beautiful woman, an extraordinary life. Maggie Tabberer tells her story of strength and determination, love and loss, creativity and success with all the warmth, wit, and style that her legions of readers and viewers came to expect of her.
