| Summary |
While actor Willie Aames (Eight Is Enough, Charles in Charge) was at the peak of Hollywood success, his future wife, Maylo Upton, was a teenage runaway, eating out of trash bins and living on the streets to escape the sexual crimes of her cult-ruined mother's barbaric boyfriend. By the time Willie met Maylo, his star was falling - a full-throttle case of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll excess - just as her acting career was beginning to rise. Together, they would eventually find God and get their messy lives clean, but not before ghosts from their past could throw spikes all over the road to happiness. Combined, their intertwining memories tell of everything from unique friendships with the last greats of Hollywood's Golden Age to dangerous acquaintances made in the deadly cocaine jungles of Venezuela, from elegant evenings at the White House to drunken nights inside the Playboy Mansion. Together they've made millions, lost seemingly everything, and discovered the only thing that really matters. Grace Is Enough is Willie and Maylo's fascinating insider story of fame and infamy, regrets and renewal, and the ultimate realization that with God all things are possible. |
