Survivors:Our Story – The Nolans

Posted in Book Reviews by Bookman on November 20, 2011

Given the highs and lows of their lives, Survivors is a very apt title.  Coleen, Bernie, Linda and Maureen take us through their story, which begins with a childhood full of love, but also affected by family violence and the strain of performing at a young age.

Success came early, with guest appearances on many popular tv shows in the mid 1970′s, followed by a string of hit singles.  But harder times were round the corner, and as the hits dried up each sister had their own problems to face.

From broken relationships, battles with breast cancer, bankruptcy and family feuds, there have been plenty of dark moments, but the triumphant reunion tour of a few years ago shows that their belief that the best is yet to come could be well founded.

With the sisters alternating chapters, Survivors is a inspirational and warm account of four eventful showbiz lives.
