In this strikingly honest book, McDonough shares the story of her overnight transformation from a normal kid in a working class, Irish Catholic family, to a Hollywood child star. She reveals intimate memories of life in and around that idyllic Virginia farmhouse (really a Warner Brothers back lot in Burbank) – sneaking off to steal candy from Ike Godsey’s store; developing crushes on guest stars; trying to crack up cast members during takes; and, most of all, forming a tight-knit second family who played, worked, hugged, and squabbled together. But in the years that followed the show’s long run, as McDonough tried to reinvent herself, she found herself battling depression and personal insecurities amplified by her celebrity. Gradually she gained the courage to stand up not just for herself, but – in true Waltons tradition – for others, taking on a new role as an activist for women’s body image issues.

Mary McDonough has written an honest, accessible account of her years as a child actress on “The Waltons” and then making the transition to adult…as a wife, mother and working actress. Her years on Walton’s Mountain are re-told with warmth and genuine appreciation and anyone who was a fan of the show will really enjoy her recounting of those experiences.

Her candor about her own self image, her struggles with fame and how to go on with her life, and ultimately the account of her breast implants and resulting illnesses is real and brutally honest. She isn’t afraid to examine her life, to try and understand what was going through her mind when she made choices she made and ultimately, how she’s taken control of it all in a quest for a quiet peace that emanates from within. It’s to be admired that she was willing to tell her story so unflinchingly and to warn others about the dangers of breast implants and their aftermath. She’s fighting the good fight against adversaries who are incredibly rich and powerful in a political environment in DC which has been bought and sold to the highest corporate bidder.
