Publisher Description

 “Honest and moving . . . Her painful tale is engrossing.”—Washington Post Book World

For most of us, it was just another horrible headline. But for Deborah Spungen, the mother of Nancy, who was stabbed to death at the Chelsea Hotel, it was both a relief and a tragedy. Here is the incredible story of an infant who never stopped screaming, a toddler who attacked people, a teenager addicted to drugs, violence, and easy sex, a daughter completely out of control—who almost destroyed her parents’ marriage and the happiness of the rest of her family.

This Book is Honest and Well Written

However I do not feel as others do in that I view Nancy as having been an extremely smart, and very good person inside. She just has a mental disorder and that is the many Drs faults that her mother sought out, who never helped them, dismissed them. Also the fact that she lived music and Rock n Roll and drugs have nothing to DO with being mentally ill. Tons of mentally sound individuals love punk and Rock and drugs and the underground life. Nancy had other, not connected to that issues. She needed real medical help her family was denied. I felt bad for them both, not just her mother. And I believe her and Sid were truly in love and that he did not murder her on purpose, if he even did, maybe he did not. New evidence suggests cops botched the investigation anyway. This book is very moving, but don't for one min think I am on the side of the Nancy hating masses.
