The first thing I felt when reading Tina’s book is how much she created the feeling that you were a fly on the wall of her storybook life ... Tina shares so many life changing stories and experiences. Her book was an easy page turner … Get the popcorn out and enjoy the read!”- Victoria Burrows, 40+ years casting director: Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Cast Away, Contact, The Polar Express, Walker Texas Ranger“Tina Cole’s long awaited book is an engaging gem of heartfelt memoir.

This book will resonate with baby boomers who grew up knowing and loving Tina Cole on television and live on stage.”- William Anderson, author at Harper Collins, Publishers
Readers interested in the Golden Age of TV and Hollywood will find enjoyment in Cole’s memoir. She provides a candid look into her life growing up with her mother, Yvonne King of the singing King Sisters, and her father, musician Buddy Cole. She approaches her own time on and off-screen with honesty. This fast-paced book is told in three parts: her childhood; her time working on the long-running TV sitcom My Three Sons, in which she played Katie (opposite real-life boyfriend Don Grady); and her time after the show through the present. Readers who didn’t grow up watching Cole or her famous musical family on TV will likely still enjoy the inside she provides. This is a clear love letter to the Boomer generation. She talks with fondness of growing up in the ‘40s and ‘50s.
