Publisher Description
Still So Excited!: My Life as a Pointer Sister is an engaging, funny, heartbreaking, and poignant look at Ruth Pointer's roller-coaster life in and out of the Pointer Sisters. When overnight success came to the Pointer Sisters in 1973, they all thought it was the answer to their long-held prayers. While it may have served as an introduction to the good life, it also was an introduction to the high life of limos, champagne, white glove treatment, and mountains of cocaine that were the norm in the high-flying '70s and '80s. Pointer's devastating addictions took her to the brink of death in 1984. Pointer has bounced back to live a drug- and alcohol-free life for the past 30 years and she shares how in her first autobiography, detailing the Pointer Sisters' humble beginning, musical apprenticeship, stratospheric success, miraculous comeback, and the melodic sound that captured the hearts of millions of music fans.

FIRE!
This was so fulfilling and an informative read for me! Some happy moments, many sad moments, but a clear testament of triumph and the power of moving forward! In this memoir, Ruth is very open and I feel lucky to have taken a look into her life and times with her sisters. She shares many secrets and situations others would take to the grave or at least wouldn't share with the general public. I have gained a love for The Pointer Sisters and hope to see them depicted on the big screen some day! Such an amazing read!

Amazing Read
What a story. Ruth Pointer is so very honest, bravely honest. In an age where many celebrity bios are glamorized, sanitized, and distorted, Pointer simply tells the true story of her life. And what a life it is. Long live Ruthie!
