Don't go slumming in this woman's autobiography and her accidental encounter with John Denver and a one night stand. It certainly isn't a balanced perspective of anyone. All of us have challenges and if you are a fan of John Denver, you are aware of his. Out of respect for his family, his children and Annie, it's not necessary to give voice to every indiscretion. Rather, let's realize that none of us look well under a microscope and focus on the good his work is accomplishing and the joy and insight his music brought us all. "Take Me Home,"John's own autobiography, is a good place to start. If I could rate this woman's book any lower I would.

As a family member I was shocked. The author is just trying to capitalize on a one-night-stand. No wonder it is printed by a print-on-demand publisher, they print anything submitted. This is not worth your money. The only facts are the appendixs which include John's biography and discography which are listed online.

This is a ridiculous book where the author recounts how she became an airline stewardess, met lots of celebrities, and had a one night stand with John Denver. Anyone who respects John, as she claims to, would never had written such a thing. I am sure it would not have been written if he were still alive. I am sure he would not be happy to know that this is out there available for anyone to read. It would have been better left unsaid. A one night stand with a celebrity is not love. It comes off sounding like something written by some giddy school girl, not by a grown woman at least in her 40's. This is a warning to any true John Denver fan. Do not buy this book. Donate the money to some worthy cause instead.

John Denver fans, PLEASE, PLEASE, take the money you would have spent on this book and donate it to one of John's many foundations. This book is total exploitation at it's best with no regard to John's fans or family. Outside of the brief encounters she had (?) with John, the rest of the book is about herself and John Denver facts that can be easily obtained in any bibliography. Absolutely disrespectful. If you had negative stars, I'd go all the way to the bottom....

This book was apsolute trash. Don't buy it. It's hardly about John Denver. It's mostly about "ME".

Pathetically, the author describes what is essentially a one-night stand with John; as envious as many of JD's female fans may be, it's a story that simply doesn't need to be told. I'd expected much more insight than was offered, and was disappointed with the author's clear lack of understanding of male libido! Hey, sex with a star-far-from-home isn't love.

Before I purchased this book, I read some of the other reviews, however I just did not believe that the book could possibly be as bad as all that so I had to see for myself.

Well, i learned a lesson, this book is not bad it stinks and i mean more than a skunk.
The woman who wrote it is named Jean St. Marie. It is obvious that she wanted to use John to try and give herself a career. To this day, i have never heard of this woman and I probably never will. Most of the book is about St. Marie herself. There is only around one chapter that focuses on John at all.

If it were me, and i had "relations" with a star I would be quite embarrased and I certainly would not want the world to know about it.

So, if you want to read about a flight attendent who worked on airlines back in the 1970's this book is for you!

but, if you want to read about John Denver... This is not for you!!

I think anyone who cared so much about John should have kept the intimate details just that, intimate, Isn't that what caring, loving and trust is all about. Sure it might be cool for your friends to know that you were intimate with John but was it really worth a few bucks to share what he probably thought was between you two. I guess I just see things different. Why now? What do you think Johns mother or any of his three children would think about reading your book, how would they feel. Would you and John still be friends if this had of been printed earlier. I think to me his friendship and trust would be more important. But good for you.

Please save your money. What an utter disappointment. It could have read one week end with John Denver. This book does not give any insights about John Denver. I think he deserves better from the author she should have kept her pen dry. Has she ever heard the expression that Gentlemen don't kiss and tell well neither do Ladies.

This book is not worth anyone's time. I am not sure where this gal was going with this,but it comes off a little sleazy. Just another kiss and tell book.
