Brooke Shields never had what anyone would consider an ordinary life. She was raised by her single mum, Teri, a woman who loved the world of show business and was often a media sensation all by herself.

Teri's skills as both Brooke's mother and her manager were formidable. But in private, she was troubled and drank heavily. Only Brooke knows the truth of the remarkable, difficult, complicated woman who was her mother.

In this honest memoir, There Was a Little Girl, she reveals stories relatable to anyone who has been a mother or daughter.
