In this candid and unconventional memoir, Goldie Hawn invites us to join her in a look back at the remarkable people and events that have touched her. It is a joyous - and sometimes surprising - spiritual journey of the heart in search of enlightenment.

With the effervescent humor and generosity that are familiar to everyone, Goldie talks about the lessons she's learned and the wisdom she feels she's been given, in hope of giving something back. Not a Hollywood tell-all, A Lotus Grows In The Mud is rather a very personal look at moments both private and powerful and the ways these experiences have helped carry her through life. It describes the delight in her father's spontaneity; the confidence instilled by her mother's courage; the unexpected gifts of comfort from strangers miles from home; and the joys of being a daughter, a sister, a parent, and a lover.

Goldie recounts her growing up in suburbia with dreams of becoming a ballerina, her go-go dancing in the 1960s New York, her success on TV's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and Hollywood stardom in such films as Swing Shift, and Private Benjamin, as well as the Oscar-winning Cactus Flower. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger, fear, and the vital importance of compassion and integrity; about her partner, Kurt Russell, and her children Kate and Oliver Hudson and Wyatt and Boston Russell; about her growing faith, her curiosity about what she doesn't know and her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and understanding.

Most of all, A Lotus Grows In The Mud is an unforgettable trip through a life well lived by a woman well loved.

Wendy Holden has been a journalist with the London Daily Telegraph; she is a coauthor of several autobiographies and the author of the forthcoming The Scent of Paper. She lives in England.
