Wildflower

By: Drew Barrymore

Narrated by: Drew Barrymore

Award-winning actress Drew Barrymore shares funny, insightful, and profound stories from her past and present told from the place of happiness she's achieved today.

Wildflower is a portrait of Drew's life in stories as she looks back on the adventures, challenges, and incredible experiences of her earlier years. It includes tales of living on her own at 14 (and how laundry may have saved her life), getting stuck in a gas station overhang on a cross-country road trip, saying good-bye to her father in a way only he could have understood, and many more adventures and lessons that have led her to the successful, happy, and healthy place she is today. It is the first book Drew has written about her life since the age of 14.

Loved this book

I really enjoyed this book!! Great and inspirational... I laughed, I cried... I'll most definitely be listening to it again in a few months.

Great read!

I love Drew and i loved listening to her stories. My favorite part was when she spoke of when she became a mom. And how her life changed and her view of the world began to shift. As a mom of 3, her words spoke to me. Her storytelling is so pure and honest. She is so relatable.

Wildflower

This was a really good autobiography of Drew Barrymore. She opened up to talk about her life. I laughed and was sad for some of it. It really touched my heart of how she grew up so young and on her own. I am grateful and feel blessed that Hod always meets us half way!
You must Get this! It is one of the best Audibles O have ever listened too.

Loved it!

Drew you're remarkable! Beautifully written, honest to the tenth degree. You are both Beautiful and Lovely, no wonder why I Love You so much!

loved it!!

Amazing story. What an amazing life so far. Would recommend. Feel as if I know her personally.

The sweetest book... Loved every minute of it!

I loved all the stories from start to finish! After a few chapters I wondered why she didn't give a more detailed account of her childhood, then wondered the same about her teen years. But by the end I got it, and it all made sense & I realized she gave just enough story from birth to present day. Brilliant, sweet, beautiful story! I love Drew Barrymore even more after reading this very honest story of her world!
