Summary
With her trademark effervescent humor, Goldie tells us about the lessons she's learned and the wisdom she feels she's been given in the hope of giving something back. Not a Hollywood "tell-all", A Lotus Grows in the Mud is a very personal look at moments private and powerful: her delight in her father's spirited spontaneity; the confidence instilled in her by her mother; the unexpected gifts of comfort from strangers many miles from home; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a lover, and a parent. This memoir is Goldie's chance to talk about everything from anger and fear to love, compassion, integrity, and friendship, to the importance of family and the challenges of show business.
Goldie writes about her younger self, the little girl who felt like an ugly duckling, and growing up in suburbia dreaming of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go dancing years in New York in the 60s, her phenomenal success on TV's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and then on to the world of Hollywood stardom and such memorable films as the Oscar-winning Cactus Flower, Swing Shift, and Private Benjamin.
A Lotus Grows in the Mud speaks of her relationship with her family: her partner, Kurt Russell; her children, Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, Wyatt Russell, and her stepson, Boston Russell; her growing faith; her curiosity for that which she doesn't yet know; and her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and understanding. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.

Wow
What a beautiful book! I was aware of this book for several months but felt drawn to it after the death of my dad recently. It filled me with peace. I am so glad I listened to it. It will become one of the books I listen to again and again. Goldie's narration is soothing and I love the occasional calming music. Thank you.

A testament to life and living joyfully 
What a beautiful connection to a wonderful human. Goldie Hawn's story is touching and completely relatable. As you hear more, it is so filled with deep, wisdom, deep, simple, wisdom and joy. One of the best books I know, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to hear Goldie Hawn read her own words, ever so wonderfully.

What a lovely way to be…
I always figured Goldie would be like this. I always warm to Kate because I imagine there is so much of her mum in her. And who doesn’t love Goldie Hawn and her cuteness. But she’s so wise. I have so enjoyed what is but a touch of who she is and why she is, not her career but her. That’s what made this special to me.
