About this listen

 When Martha Stewart was under investigation for insider trading and later on trial, the media served up countless gratuitous stories describing her ornery character. Now, Lloyd Allen, Martha's old friend and neighbor, is out to set the record straight. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews with Martha, her family, and her close friends and colleagues, Allen reveals the other side of the story, bringing to life the real woman behind the controversial and glamorous public image. From her childhood in New Jersey to the early days of her catering business, her rise as lifestyle guru, the huge success of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and now two new television shows, Allen weaves together fascinating observations and details that show how Martha made it to the top and stayed there through talent, passion, and hard work.©2006 Lloyd Allen (P)2006 Blackstone Audiobooks Business Entertainment & Celebrities Professionals & Academics Women

Never knew much about her as from the uk. So it was hearing her life story. Can’t believe she ended up in jail.

Really good

I was looking forward to this book. However it’s to sycophantic and detract from the story. I understand the author is a friend but he could have been a little more objective.

A missed opportunity
