Long awaited and much anticipated, the Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door, has arrived. Written by David Kaufman, this is the previously untold story of an American icon. Kaufman allows the reader to journey to the epicenter of American pop culture via a roller-coaster style saga that runs from the 1940s through the 1980s when Doris Day was the epitome of innocence leading a carefree lifestyle. We find that Doris day is in many ways the exact opposite of her screen persona, and is, like us, striving for happiness. During that period when we thought her world like that of Cinderella at the ball, she went through her share of less than charming princes and has many regrets.

There are fascinating glimpses into Doris Day's life through stories of fame, beauty, money, tragedy, sexual ambiguity, and sexual conquests. There are also a plethora of anecdotes about many major subsidiary players in Day's life, including Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Alfred Hitchcock, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Charles Manson, Mickey Mantle, Candice Bergen, and Rock Hudson. If you grew up with Doris Day, enjoyed her movies and wondered if her fairy-tale life onscreen was the same offscreen, this book will both delight and enlighten you. It is engrossing and extremely well-written.
