Review Quotes: "A vivid portrait of Natalie Wood, the person.... A deeply intimate chronicle of life with her famous mother and how Wood's death devastated the family."
--LA Times

"A poignant look at a complicated relationship...and a tantalizing foray into 'What if?'"
--The Washington Post

"Wagner...begins her graceful, loving memoir of her mother, Natalie Wood, with an affecting account of waking to news that she had drowned...the best of a crop of new books that take us into the turbulent world of stardom.... Wagner's book effectively reclaims Wood from tawdry gossip and shallowness.
--The New York Times Book Review

"Natasha is ready to share who her "brave and strong" mother truly was...in her memoir More Than Love."
--People Magazine

"[A] revealing new look at Natalie Wood."
--Good Morning America

"What her daughter remembers isn't the myth, but her mother. A beautiful woman devoted to giving her daughters the only thing she never had - a real childhood."
--New York Daily News

"In this heartfelt memoir, she offers a look at her life -- as a child enraptured by her mother, and then as an actress, trying to forge her own way while making sense of her mother's."
--Milwaukee Journal Sentinal

"Reveals many small, sweet details of her mother's personal life...By sharing her memories, Natasha hopes to erase the perception that Natalie was a victim."
--Closer Weekly

"Heart-wrenching.... Wagner's beautifully written and unashamedly emotional memoir is a love letter to Natalie Wood and an enduring gift to her fans."
--Publisher's Weekly

"[An] eloquent debut... it is Wagner's sensitive, probing depiction of how she coped without Wood that makes for the most compelling reading in a book that celebrates both a brilliant actress and a bygone film era. An intimate and heartfelt memoir."
--Kirkus

"[V]ivid and heartbreaking... fascinating... [a] personal account that fans of old Hollywood will savor."
--Booklist, starred

"This beautifully written memoir will appeal to movie fans, but Wagner's long search for emotional stability also makes it a compelling tool for those crippled by grief."
--Shelf Awarenes
