About this listen
With her trademark effervescent humor, Goldie tells us about the lessons she's learned and the wisdom she feels she's been given in the hope of giving something back. Not a Hollywood "tell-all", A Lotus Grows in the Mud is a very personal look at moments private and powerful: her delight in her father's spirited spontaneity; the confidence instilled in her by her mother; the unexpected gifts of comfort from strangers many miles from home; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a lover, and a parent. This memoir is Goldie's chance to talk about everything from anger and fear to love, compassion, integrity, and friendship, to the importance of family and the challenges of show business.
Goldie writes about her younger self, the little girl who felt like an ugly duckling, and growing up in suburbia dreaming of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go dancing years in New York in the 60s, her phenomenal success on TV's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and then on to the world of Hollywood stardom and such memorable films as the Oscar-winning Cactus Flower, Swing Shift, and Private Benjamin.
A Lotus Grows in the Mud speaks of her relationship with her family: her partner, Kurt Russell; her children, Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, Wyatt Russell, and her stepson, Boston Russell; her growing faith; her curiosity for that which she doesn't yet know; and her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and understanding. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.

Goldie’s beautiful voice and positivity toward life
Goldie’s voice and love for her family, her fellow man, her children, her husband and for all the people who crossed her path was awe inspiring. There was no pretentious pompous raving about what she has achieved in life or what she has done but a true down to earth genuine story one I could resonate with. I was never bored, I didn’t want it to finish. LOVED IT

Always been a Goldie fan!
A shorter book than most bios but was so good otherwise. A must read. She’s a genuine soul which comes across perfectly.

Flower Earth Mother
I really enjoyed this book. Goldie is such an earth mother, she is someone who I would love to know. Such a gentle soul and beautiful spirit. A lovely, positive, enjoyable story. I loved that she narrated her own story.
