Yet at twenty-three her family was ripped apart. From the moment of its original publication in 1977, Haywire was a national sensation, a celebrated Hollywood story of a glittering family and the stunning darkness that lurked just beneath the surface. Who could have imagined that this magical life could shatter, so conclusively, so destructively? Brooke Hayward tells the riveting story of how her family went haywire. “Haywire is a Hollywood childhood memoir, a glowing tapestry spun with equal parts of gold and pain.... An absolute beauty.” —The New York Times Book Review
