Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

With journalist Meisler, Garvey tells of shedding her identity as "Cyndy," wife of the Los Angeles Dodgers' star infielder, Steve Garvey. "One might more readily sympathize with Cyndy/Cynthia if she didn't complain nonstop," wrote PW . "She is critical of almost everyone except her former lover, Marvin Hamlisch." Photos.

THIS IS THE STORY OF CYNDY GARVEY, FORMER WIFE OF DODGER STEVE GARVEY. SHE SHARES WITH US A FASCINATING AND DEPRESSING STORY OF HER LIFE AS A CHILD AND HER 10 YEAR MARRIAGE TO STEVE. ALONG THE WAY, SHE TELLS OF HER PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABUSE FROM HER FATHER, THE INFIDELITY AND COLDNESS OF HER HUSBAND AND THE VERBAL INSULTS AND ABUSE SHE TOOK FROM THE MEDIA AND HER FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS. I FOUND THIS BOOK AN EXCELLENT READ. I FOUND THE HIGHLIGHTS TO BE HER HONESTY ABOUT SEEKING COUNSELING, HER RELATIONSHIP WITH REGIS PHILBIN AND SOME OF THE DRAMA BEING MARRIED TO AN ABSOLUTE SELF CENTERED PERSON WHO ABANDONED HIS OWN DAUGHTER IN A HOSPITAL. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read

I really enjoyed this book. It's fascinating for me because I'm a baseball fan and I grew up in Los Angeles.
It's really a journey through a woman's life as Cyndy Garvey.
I'm a man, yet I could easily relate to her, a woman and the wife of baseball player Steve Garvey.
She's bright and introspective. She matures before her own eyes, and gains perspective about herself.
And there's tons of details about the Dodgers and what it was like to move to Los Angeles.
And then details about her work with Regis Philbin, and how he got started in New York.
I'm telling you, it's a fun, good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars too much left untold
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2008
Cyndy's book is an interesting read.. but I would have liked to know more about what happened to Whitney and Krisha..
And.. more info on the Dodgers.
The book by Brice Taylor.. describes things that happened to Cyndy and her daughters.... I was looking for either: Denial or confirmation..
Maybe I will still find it, am not totally done w. the book.
