This account of two working-class girls from Utah starts as a bittersweet Jewish family memoir, and ends as a story of paranoia and betrayal in Hollywood. Rosanne Barr Arnold's sister Geraldine, tells of what happens when collaboration gives way to blind ambition and the power to invent and reinvent yourself becomes like a drug. Geraldine Barr grew up with her sister Roseanne and dreamed and schemed with her, from the trailer parks of rural Colorado to television stardom. But the dream of fame and fortune turned to nightmare, as the sisters' apparently unbreakable bond of love and mutual support crumbled into resentment, hurt and mistrust.
