Shirley Jones starred in "Oklahoma!," "Carousel," "The Music Man" and performed her Oscar-winning role as a prostitute in "Elmer Gantry" long before her famous role on "The Partridge Family."

On that show, she portrayed the epitome of American motherhood, a symbol to generations of families in the 1970s, and she remains a cult icon today. But for those who only think of Shirley as the prim and proper Marion the librarian or the chaste and demure Mrs. Partridge, a massive surprise is in store. Here, in this candid memoir, the real flesh and blood Shirley Jones is revealed at last.
