Patti Davis, Ronald and Nancy's Reagan's daughter, long observed all the controversy about her parents, and restrained herself from commenting on the myths and falsehoods. Here she sets the record straight about her fabled family. Besides sharing many family secrets, Davis explores her troubled past – her drug use, her suicidal impulses and her promiscuity. She paints a poignant yet heartbreaking portrait of a deeply troubled family hiding behind the lights of Hollywood and the shields provided by the presidency.
