Still So Excited!: My Life as a Pointer Sister | Ruth Pointer, Marshall Terrill
11 posts
Ruth Pointer's story for the first timeand in her own words Still So Excited!: My Life in the Pointer Sisters offers an engaging, funny, heartbreaking, and poignant look at Ruth Pointer's roller-coaster life in and out of the Pointer Sisters. When overnight success came to the Pointer Sisters in 1973, they all thought it was the answer to their long-held prayers. While it may have served as an introduction to the good life, it also was an introduction to the high life of limos, champagne, white glove treatment, and mountains of cocaine that were the norm in the high-flying '70s and '80s. Ruth Pointer's devastating addictions took her to the brink of death in 1984. Ruth Pointer has bounced back to live a drug- and alcohol-free life for the past 30 years and she shares how in her first biography. Readers will learn about the Pointer Sisters' humble beginnings, musical apprenticeship, stratospheric success, miraculous comeback, and the melodic sound that captured the hearts of millions of music fans. They will also come to understand the five most important elements in Ruth's story: faith, family, fortitude, fame, and forgiveness.

So last week I hit 1,000, tonight I was excited to hit 1,234. Possible OCD??lol I think I'll give away the book I just read "My Ex-Life" by Stephen McCauley, plus some other bookish items, since the book is very gently used. Just comment on this post and tell me one random fact about yourself. I'll pick the winner on Wednesday, May 23rd. My random fact- my favorite TV show is The Middle, it is like watching my own family on TV ??

I tried so hard to get it right at 10k as I was scrolling through, but y'all are so awesome that it went over before I had a chance! Thank you guys so much for all the love ❤❤❤ It seems fitting but crazy that tonight is the deadline for my #toris5kbdaygiveaway. Hard to believe my Litfluence doubled in just a month! Y'all are the best, and I'm loving seeing all the pics/games you tag me in for prompts. Love you ALL 😍😍😍
