The New York Times bestselling memoir from legendary comedienne Carol Burnett is a “loving, poignant” (People) tribute to her eldest daughter, Carrie Hamilton.

The daughter of one of television’s most recognizable and beloved stars, Carol Burnett, Carrie Hamilton won the hearts of everyone she met with her kindness, her quirky humor, and her unconventional approach to life. After overcoming her painful and public teenage struggle with drug addiction in a time when personal troubles were kept private, Carrie lived her adult life of sobriety to the fullest, achieving happiness and success as an actress, writer, musician, and director before losing a hard-fought battle with cancer at age thirty-eight. Now Carol Burnett shares her personal diary entries, photographs, and correspondence as she traces the journey she and Carrie took through some of life’s toughest challenges and sweetest miracles. Authentic, intimate, and full of love, Carrie and Me is a funny and moving memoir about mothering an extraordinary young woman through the struggles and triumphs of her life.

What a beautiful story of such a lovely young lady gone too soon. I love that Mrs. Burnett reads this herself and what a beautiful heartfelt story it is!

I loved hearing her read and I could feel all of her love and heartbreak. Amazing she could do it but it was GREAT!
I only listened to a few chapters of the second part & I could tell it was going to be a great story. I couldn’t get past the huge amount of cussing. I understand it was the personality of the female character but stories can be made interesting without those words. I stopped early into second part. I have great respect for Carol & Carrie but that spoiled it for me. Love Carol & now have love & respect for Carrie. God bless all.

Love Carol Burnett

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to a friend. If you heard all the news covering Ms. Burnett and her daughter, Carrie, over the years. This book will definitely clear up what you've heard or read. I started and stopped reading a couple of times because I was concerned it would be a tell and cry sort of read. I finally buckled down and read it. It's not! It is more about a relationship, love and respect than a sad memorial. Don't get me wrong. Yes, it touches on Carrie's illness and her passing, but this book isn't about that. It's about her life, her legacy. It's warm and heartfelt. I cried and I laughed because I related.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Carrie, of course, because she was real, unspoiled by her parent's success, and a hard working young women that wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted. She struggled in her youth, but got it together as an adult.

What about Carol Burnett’s performance did you like?

I think Ms. Burnett tried hard to read this book like she would any other book, but you could definitely hear when her heart was breaking. You feel for her if you've suffered your own loss

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I tried. Not possible thou, because I have other responsibilities.

Any additional comments?

No,

I'm very happy I read this book

The audible version has elements that are not found in the written version. I liked the song written and sung by Carrie.

Poignant!
